The volume of a slice from a wedge |
2008-10-16 |
|
From Jeff:
If I have a wedge shaped object (ie, a triangle of non-specific type
extruded along a length) and it is sliced from the two-corner base at
one end to the one-point tip at the other, what is the volume of the
upper (smaller) part as a percentage of the whole? I hope I have
explained it clearly enough. Thanks.

The square footage of an area in my backyard |
2006-03-17 |
|
From Kim:
I need to find out how to calculate the square footage of an area in my backyard that is in the shape of a "slice of pie". There are two sides that are straight lines that come together at the top to form a point, and then at the bottom is a curved line that joins the two other lines together. I need to figure out how to calculate the square footage that is inside the area.
