Example of calculating volume of a Wedge

Press play.
When calculating the volume of a wedge, we need to multiply the length of the triangle base, by the height of the triangle, divide it by two, and then multiply the resulting value by the length of the wedge. In the example below, the wedge triangle base measures 4 feet in length, the wedge triangle height measures 3.5 feet, and the wedge length measures 6 feet . After performing the calculations as described, we get a volume of 42 cubic feet.
