Explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Angela makes a pillow in the shape of a wedge to use for watching tv. The pillow is filled with 12 cubic feet of fluffy material. The base is 3 ft, the height is 2 ft. What is the length measure?

We know that a wedge is in form of triangular prism, so the volume of wedge will be equal to volume of triangular prism.

`\text{Volume of triangular prism}=(1)/(2)(\text{length}*\text{ width}* \text{Height})`

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

`12\text{ ft}^3=(1)/(2)(\text{length}*3\text{ ft}* \text{2 ft})`

`12\text{ ft}^3=\text{length}*3\text{ ft}^2`

`\frac{12\text{ ft}^3}{3\text{ ft}^2}=\frac{\text{length}*3\text{ ft}^2}{3\text{ ft}^2}`

`4\text{ ft}=\text{length}`

Therefore, the length of the pillow is 4 feet.
