A tent constructed in the form of a square pyramid of base perimeter 80 metres and lateral edge 26 metresa. Calculate the slant height of the tentb. Calculate the area of tarpaulin sheet. required to cover the lateral faces of the tent.

Answer»

Base perimeter = 80 m, Base edge = 20 m

Lateral edge = 26 m

a. Slant height = \(\sqrt{26^2-10^2}\) = \(\sqrt{576}\) = 24

b. Lateral surface area = \(4\times\frac{1}{2}\times20\times24\)

= 960 sq.metre
