Ok I ain’t sure but

Base will be 64 cus 8* 8

And then idk if you can just assume the sides are triangles and do area of triangle formula 1/2 bh (1/2 87)and then times your answer by 5 as there are 5 sides and add the base

@upbeat pagoda

[upbeat pagoda]

I did the area of the triangle and got 28 what else to do?

[gilded reef]

Ok so you did 1/2 b*h

How much side are there

That look same

4 sides right ???

[upbeat pagoda]

I got this

[gilded reef]

My bad I said 5 before

So times that by 4

Cus they want the surface area

[upbeat pagoda]

So the answer is 112ft square ?

[gilded reef]

Close do you think we missing a side

[gilded reef]

That’s if the 4 sides that look like triangles

[upbeat pagoda]

I don’t really know

[gilded reef]

Ain’t they tell you in the question it has a square base

And in a square all side are e____what

[upbeat pagoda]

Equal

[upbeat pagoda]

Base (Square): Calculate the area of the square base by multiplying the side length by itself: 8 ft x 8 ft = 64 sq ft.
Four Walls (Sides): There are four walls surrounding the tent. Each wall can be divided into two parts: a rectangular part and a triangular part.
Rectangular Part: The area of the rectangular part is height x side length = 7 ft x 8 ft = 56 sq ft for each wall.
Triangular Part: The triangular top of the wall has a base of the side length (8 ft) and a height of half the height (7/2 ft). The area of each triangular part is (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 8 ft x (7/2) ft = 28 sq ft for each wall.
Now, calculate the area of one wall by adding the rectangular and triangular parts together: 56 sq ft (rectangle) + 28 sq ft (triangle) = 84 sq ft for one wall.

Total Surface Area of the Walls: Since there are four identical walls, you can multiply the area of one wall by 4 to get the total surface area of the walls: 4 x 84 sq ft = 336 sq ft.
Add the Base: Don't forget to include the base area calculated earlier: 64 sq ft.
Calculate the Total Surface Area: Add the base area and the area of the walls to find the total surface area of the tent: 336 sq ft (walls) + 64 sq ft (base) = 400 sq ft in total.
Now, you know that Quinn's tent has a surface area of approximately 400 square feet. Quinn can use this information to determine how many cans of spray she needs based on the coverage per can, as indicated on the spray cans.

[gilded reef]

Yes so to find the area

[upbeat pagoda]

This is what chat got gave me

[gilded reef]

Haha lol idk where they get rectangular part form

[upbeat pagoda]

Was the first one I found not the area?

[gilded reef]

Where

[upbeat pagoda]

28

[gilded reef]

112

• 8 * 8

That’s what I think

Chat gpt ain’t great at word problems

176

[gilded reef]

What

They Jsut want the surface area which you worked out correctly for the trangles

[upbeat pagoda]

I should so the final answer is 176?

[gilded reef]

No Jsut work out the surface area of the square base 8* 8

Yes

[gilded reef]

I am like 80% sure

[gilded reef]

Your working is right upto the 112 now Jsut be like surface area of square base = 8*8 and then total area = 112 + 64

[upbeat pagoda]

So is this right?

[gilded reef]

Ya it looks right might want to say trnagles surface area square surface area and total surface area to make working better

What level is this

[upbeat pagoda]

Grade 10 Geometry HMH

[gilded reef]

Oh good luck

[gilded reef]

Wait so how old are you

[thin plaza]

45

ok no

[gilded reef]

They have different level system

[upbeat pagoda]

So is this okay now?

[upbeat pagoda]

15

[gilded reef]

Cool good luck

[upbeat pagoda]

Ah which grade you in?

[gilded reef]

Cya

[gilded reef]

We don’t really have grades

[upbeat pagoda]

Ehn how’d y’all do it?

[gilded reef]

Like years

Btw gtg good luck
