1 answer:
Answer:
$280
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find attached the image of the tent
cost of the tent = cost per square inch x total surface area of a triangular prism
total surface area of a triangular prism = (perimeter x height) + 2(area of a triangle)
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 40 x 50 = 1000in²
1000 x 2 = 2000
Perimeter = 50 + 50 + 50 = 150
150 x 80 = 12,000
total surface area = 12,000 + 2000 = 14,000
Total cost = 14,000 x 0.02 = $280
