now, we're making the assumption that the front and back of the tent are trapezoidal, Check the picture below.
[tex]\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=32\\ a=23\\ b=36.5 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} A=\cfrac{32(23+36.5)}{2}\implies A=952 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{twice that much}}{2A=1904} \end{array}[/tex]
