Answer:

14 AND 22

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE LARGER NUMBER BE X AND SMALLER BE Y

X + Y = 36 …….1

2X – Y = 6…… 2

WE SOLVE SIMULTANOUSLY

ADDING EQATION 2 AND 1

2X + X + Y + (-Y) = 36 + 6

3X + Y – Y = 42

3X = 42

DIVIDING EACH TERM BY 3

3X/3 = 42/3

X = 14

THEN PUTTING X = 14 IN EQUATION 1

14 + Y = 36

Y = 36 – 14

Y = 22

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

4 feet.

Step-by-step 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.

$\text{Volume of triangular prism}=\frac{1}{2}(\text{length}\times\text{ width}\times \text{Height})$
