Fabric is stretched over the wooden frame below What is the total area of the fabric? Round to the nearest square inch

72 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

We obtain the value of EC:

From Pythagoras :

EC = √CD² - DE²

EC = √10² - 6²

EC = √100 - 36

EC = √64

EC = 8

To obtain AE:

AE = √AB² - BE²

AE = √(√52)² - 6²

AE = √52 - 36

AE = √16

AE = 4

Hence, we can obtain the areas of each triangle :

△ABE = △ADE

△BCE = △CDE

AREA OF △ABE = 1/2 * base * height

= 1/2 * 4 * 6 = 12 in²

AREA OF △BCE = 1/2 * base * height

= 1/2 * 6 * 8 = 24 in²

HENCE, total area of fabric :

(2 * 12) + (2 * 24)

24 in² + 48 in²

= 72 in²

step-by-step explanation:

i'm assuming you need to figure out how many campers go into each tent.

i got the answer by:

24+4=28

28/4=7
