    about 210.5 ft²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The radius of the base of the tent is half the distance across, so is 13/2 = 6.5 ft. The slant height (s) of the tent is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

    s = √ (6.5² + 8²) = √106.25 ≈ 10.308 ft

    Then the lateral area can be found from the formula ...

    LA = πrs = π· (6.5 ft) (10.308 ft) ≈ 210.49 ft²
