could you reword this please?
When we look at the problem we need to find the surface area. How we do that with this tent, what we do is add the areas of the two triangles and three rectangular We use the triangle formula to calculate 1/2 times 5 x 8.5x8=40 /2=20 We have two triangles so let's ad them together to get 40.Now were going to do the 4.75 with 5 and 8.4.75x5=23.75 4.75x8=38 4.75x4.75=22.56Let's add all the numbers.40+38+22.56+23.75=124.31
