What is the least amount of fabric to make tent

136

Step-by-step explanation:The bottom lateral side has area of 6*7 = 42 square feet

The two lateral sides facing up at a slant have area of 5*7 = 35 sq ft each

So the total lateral surface area is: 42+35+35 = 112 square feet

The front and back base faces of the prism have area of 6*4/2 = 24/2 = 12 sq ft

The total base area is 2*12 = 24 sq ft

Overall, the total surface area of this entire prism is 24+112 = 136 sq ft

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
