Explanation:
The volume formula ...
V = BH
is a formula for the volume of a general prism whose cross sections parallel to the base all have area B. The distance between the parallel bases is represented by H.
__
To use this formula to find the volume of a tent, the area of the end of the tent would be substituted for B, and the length of the tent (distance between the ends) would be substituted for H.
An appropriate formula would need to be used for the end area.
