The army squad tent shown in the figure has a roof with trape- zoidal sides whose bases form a rec- tangle 1 3/4ft. by 2 ft. at the top and a rectangle 14 ft. by 16 ft. at the bottom. If the height of the roof is 8 ft., find the surface area of canvas in the roof. (Neglect the rounded surface at the top.)
