The question is incomplete, the complete question is Angela makes a pillow in the shape of a wedge to use for watching TV. The pillow is filled with 12 ft³ of fluffy material. The base is 3 ft, the height is 2 ft, what is the length of the pillow?
The length of the pillow is 4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of the volume of the wedge is , where
- b is the base of it
- h is the height of it
- l is the length of it
∵ The pillow in the shape of a wedge
∵ The pillow is filled with 12 ft³ of fluffy material
∴ The volume of the wedge = 12 ft³
∵ The base = 3 feet
∵ The height = 2 feet
- Use the formula of the volume above to find its length
∵
∴ V = 3 l
∵ V = 12 ft³
- Equate 3 l by 12
∴ 3 l = 12
- Divide both sides by 3
∴ l = 4 feet
∴ The length of the pillow is 4 feet
ED = x - 5 <em>given</em>
DG = 4x - 38 <em>given</em>
ED = DG <em>definition of midpoint</em>
x - 5 = 4x - 38 <em>substitution</em>
-5 = 3x - 38 <em>subtraction property of equality (subtracted x from both sides)</em>
33 = 3x <em>addition property of equality (added 38 to both sides)</em>
11 = x <em>division property of equality (divided 3 from both sides)</em>
ED = x - 5 → ED = 11 - 5 → ED = 6 <em>substitution</em>
since ED = DG, then DG = 6 <em>transitive property</em>
ED + DG = EG <em>segment addition property</em>
6 + 6 = EG <em>substitution</em>
12 = EG <em>simplified like terms</em>
Answer: 12
