The surface area of the four triangular faces can be solve by just using the formula for the area of a triangle, since we are given the height of the one of the triangular faces which is 91.7 ft. and the base is 116 ft

the total surface area = 4 (0.5bh)

we multiply i by 4 because there 4 faces

b is the base

h is the height

A = 4 (0.5) (116 ft) (91.7 ft)

A = 21274.4 sq ft is the surface area of the four triangular faces
