Answer:

The area of the canvas, including the floor is 1548 sq. feet.          

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A conical tent made of canvas has a base that is 34 feet across and a slant height of 12 feet.

To find : What is the area of the canvas, including the floor?

Solution :  

A conical tent made of canvas has a base that is 34 feet.

The diameter of the base is D=34 feet.

The radius of the base is [tex]r=\frac{34}{2}=17[/tex]

The slant height l=12

The area of the canvas, including the floor is

[tex]A=\pi r l+\pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi r(l+r)[/tex]

[tex]A=3.14\times 17(17+12)[/tex]

[tex]A=3.14\times 17\times29[/tex]

[tex]A=1548.02[/tex]

In nearest whole unit, A=1548 sq. feet.

Therefore, The area of the canvas, including the floor is 1548 sq. feet.
