Complete Question

Angela has constructed a wedge-shaped pillow for her TV watching needs. It contains 0.35 m³ of fluffy material. The pillow's base area measures 0.5m², and its height stands at 1m.

What is the length of the pillow?

Provide an exact answer (no rounding).

Answer:

1.4m

Step-by-step explanation:

A wedge can be defined as a Triangular prism. Thus,

The volume formula for a wedge (Triangular prism) is given by: 1/2 × B × H × L

b = 0.5m

h = 1 m

l =??

Volume of the wedge = 0.35 m³

0.35 = 1/2 × 0.5 × 1 × L

0.35 = 0.25 × L

Solving for L, we get: L = 0.35/0.25

L = 1.4m
