Question

A play tent is shown.how much fabric was used to make the front(Base 1=36.5) (Base 2=23). And the height =32

Answer 1

Answer:

In order to make the front it is needed 952 squared units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The front of the tent has the shape of a trapezoid, thus in order to find out how much material is needed we can find the area of the trapezoid using the following formula

$A = \cfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}h$

Finding the front area of the tent.

We can identify the given information for the front area, we have:

$b_1=36.5\\b_2=23\\h=32$

Replacing on the trapezoid formula we get

$A =\cfrac{36.5 + 23}2\times 32$

Evaluating will give us

$A = 952 units^2$

Since the area is 952 squared units , then 952 squared units of fabric was used to make the front.
