Can someone me solve this?

a square-based tent in the shape of a rectangular pyramid over a rectangular prism covers a ground area of 4.9m^2. it stands 1.5m high around the perimeter of the tent and 2.5m in the middle. calculate the amount of canvas that was used to make the tent.

So...the tent, seems to be the first picture below

the second picture, is just a break-down of the pyramid



so... that's the value of "a" and the "c" or "slant height", namely the missing slanted side on that second picture

we need the slant height, in order to get the area of that triangular face, and the base of that triangle is, just "a"

since the area of a triangle is 1/2 bh, and the base is "a" and the altitude or height here is the slant height "c", then the area of that triangular face is 

and the area of the lateral sides for the prism, are " a * 1.5"  or 

so, you have 4 triangles, and 4 rectangles to be added, so.. .let's do that, to get the canvas then



that'd be the area of the canvas, or namely, the surface area

notice, we are not including the base of the pyramid, because that's inside the tent, and excluding the base of the prism, because that'd be the ground, and the tent may not include that, well, depends on the tent, in this case, I think a tent this big may not, other smaller ones do though

Answer

B) 3/5

Explanation

(Make that Brainlest if it's right)

P(4+odd n)= 1/10 + 5/10 = 6/10 = 3/5
