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

Step-by-step 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
