To calculate:Thevolume of wedge with rectangular dimensions of25 and 30.

Answer to Problem 15RP
Thevolume of wedgeis
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A wedge with rectangular dimensions of 25 and 30. An isosceles
Formula used:
The below theorem is used:
Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides”.
In right
Area of triangle:
Where “b”is base of triangle
“a” is height of triangle
Volume of prism
Where “B” is Base area of prism and“h” is height of prism
Calculation:
Draw the altitude to the base of the isosceles triangle by bisecting it.
The height h of altitude can be calculated by applying Pythagoras Theorem.
In right angled triangle, we get
Volume of prism
Volume of prism
Volume of prism

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
