Elena bought a backpacking tent to take with her on hiking trips.
She needs to buy a rain proof tarp for the tent that will cover all 4 sides, as well as protect the ground underneath. Which size tarp should she purchase? *
1 point
a) X-Small: 16 ft²
b) Small: 34 ft²
c) Medium: 88 ft²
d) Large: 104 ft²
e) X-Large: 144 ft²

If the tarp that she buys does not work and the tent fills up completely with water, how much water would it take to fill the tent, if the tent is 8.75 ft tall? *

a) 140 ft³
b) 144 ft³
c) 48 ft³
d) 46.7 ft³
e) 36 ft³

Question 1 = c) Medium: 88 ft²

Question 2 = d) 46.7 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

We would be solving this question by finding the surface area of the tent. The shape of the tent is a square based pyramid.

The surface area of a square based pyramid(tent) =

a² + 2ah

Where in the diagram,

a = base length = 4 ft

h = height of the pyramid (tent ) = 9ft

Surface area = 4² + 2 × 4 × 9

= 16 + 72

= 88ft²

Therefore, the size tarp should she purchase is Medium: 88 ft²

Question 2

For question 2, from the attached diagram, we can see that the diagram is a square based pyramid.

To calculate the amount of water that would fill the square based pyramid, we would have to find the Volume of the tent(square based pyramid).

The formula for the Volume of the tent(square based pyramid) = 1/3(a²h)

Where a = base edge

h = height of the pyramid.

From the diagram,

a = base edge => 4ft.

From the question,

h = height of the tent is given as how tall the tent is = 8.75ft.

Therefore, 1/3(a²h)

1/3 × (4ft)²× 8.75ft

= 46.67ft³

Approximately = 46.7ft³

Therefore, the amount of water it would it take to fill the tent, if the tent is 8.75 ft tall is 46.7ft³

y = - 6

step-by-step explanation:

given the point (- 2, y) lies on the graph then it is a solution of it's equation.

substitute x = - 2 into the equation for value of y

y = 3(- 2) = 3 × - 2 = - 6

the point on the graph is (- 2, 6)

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
