AI explanation

The surface area of the conical tent equals the curved surface area of a cone, which is found using the formula pi * r * l, where l is the slant height. First find the slant height using the Pythagorean theorem, where l equals the square root of (5^2 + 3^2), resulting in the square root of 34. Substituting this into the formula gives (22/7) * 3 * 5.83, which equals 83.2 square m.
