(a) Length of the height is 2.732 m
(b) Length of the base is 5.466 m
<u>Explanation:</u>
An image is attached for reference.
(a)
In ΔAOB,
In ΔBGD,
According to the figure, BG = OE = 1.732 m
Height of the tent, AE = AO + OE
= 1 m + 1.732 m
= 2.732 m
(b)
DF = ?
In ΔAOB,
According to the figure, OB = GE = 1.733 m
In ΔBGD,
According to the figure, DE = DG + GE
DE = 1 m + 1.733 m
DE = 2.733 m
Length of the base, DF = 2 X DE
DF = 2 X 2.733 m
DF = 5.466 m
