Question

Due to an increased interest in outdoor activities, the orders to purchase camping tents have also increased. One roll of tent material covers a surface area of 825 square inches. If a standard tent has a length of 7.5 feet, a base of 823 feet, a height of 6 feet, and side measures of 8 feet, how many rolls of tent material are required to make 10 tents?

To find the total surface area of one tent, we can calculate the area of the base, the two sides, and the top separately.

Base area = length x base = 7.5 ft x 8 ft = 60 sq ft
Side area = 2 x height x base = 2 x 6 ft x 8 ft = 96 sq ft
Top area = base x height = 8 ft x 6 ft = 48 sq ft

Total area = base area + side area + top area = 60 sq ft + 96 sq ft + 48 sq ft = 204 sq ft

Since one roll of tent material covers a surface area of 825 square inches (5.73 sq ft), we need to convert the total area to sq ft: 204 sq ft = 23.81 sq ft

Now let's calculate the total material required to make 10 tents: 23.81 sq ft x 10 = 238.1 sq ft

Therefore, we would need 4 rolls of tent material (238.1 sq ft / 57 sq ft per roll = 4.18 rolls) to make 10 tents. Rounded to the nearest whole number, we need 4 rolls of tent material.
