Ravishwanted to make a temporary shelter for his car by making a box-like structurewith tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (withthe front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitchingmargins are very small, and therefore negligible, how much tarpaulin would berequired to make the shelter of height 2.5 metre with base dimension `4m x 3m ?`

Answer» Area of tarpaulin required
= (area of four sides) + (area of the top)
`= {2(l + b) xx h} + ( l + b)`
`= {2 xx (4 + 3) xx 2.5 } m^(2) + (4 xx 3) m^(2) = (25 + 12) m^(2) = 47 m^(2)`
