Question

A company wants to rent a tent that had a height of at least 10 feet for an outdoor show. should they rent the tent show at the right? explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

They should not rent that tent as the height is only 9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the tent = $\sqrt{15^{2} - 12^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{225-144}$ = $\sqrt{81}$ = 9ft

Answer 2

They shouldn't rented the tent show at the right.

What is height of given tent ?

Here, in the given diagram, the height(h) of the tent can be obtained using pythagoras theorem because the shape forms a right angle triangle.

Base of the prism = 24 feet

Base of the right angle triangle = 24/2 feet = 12 feet

Hypotenuse of the triangle = 15 feet

By the pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse²=Base²+Height²

⇒ Height = √(Hypotenuse²-Base²)

⇒ h = √(15²-12²)

⇒ h = √(225-144)

⇒ h = √81

⇒ h = 9

The height of the given tent is 9 feet.

So, they shouldn't rent the given tent as they need tent of height at least 10 feet.
