A company will manufacture a tent that will have a square, 15-ft by 15-ft base, 4 vertical walls, each 10 ft high, and a pyramidshaped top made out of 4 triangular pieces of cloth, as shown in Figure 13.29 . At its tallest point in the center of the tent, the tent will reach a height of 15 ft. Draw a small version of a pattern for one of the 4 triangular pieces of cloth that will make the pyramid-shaped top of the tent. Label your pattern with enough information so that someone making the tent would know how to measure and cut the material for the top of the tent.

- A calendar is determined by using each of the 12 faces of a regular dodecahedron for one month of the year. With each side of the regular pentagonal face measuring 4cm, the area of each face is approximately 27.5 cm2. a What is the total surface area of the calendar? b If the material used to construct the calendar costs 0.8 of a cent per square centimeter, what is the cost of the materials used in construction?arrow_forwardFind the lengths of the apothem and the radius of a regular hexagon whose sides have length 6 cm.arrow_forwardFind the distance from the circumcenter to each vertex of an equilateral triangle whose sides have the length 10.arrow_forward
