- A two-person tent is to be made so that the height at the center is a = 3 feet (see the figure below). If the sides of the tent are to meet the ground at an angle α = 30°, and the tent is to be b = 9 feet in length, how many square feet of material will be needed to make the tent? (Assume that the tent has a floor and is closed at both ends, and give your answer in exact form.)
