Complete question :
Angela makes a pillow in the shape of a wedge to use for watching TV. The pillow is filled with 0.35 m3 of fluffy material, with base 0.5 m and height 1m
What is the length of the pillow?
Answer:
1.4 m
Explanation:
The volume of wedge is given by:
V = Area of triangle * length
Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Volume of wedge = 1/2 * base * height * length
Volume of wedge = 0.35m³
0.35 = 0.5 * 0.5 * 1 * length
0.35 = 0.25 * length
Length = 0.35 / 0.25
Length = 1.4 m
