Formulas for a right wedge

Volume

\(\displaystyle V = \frac{ a\cdot b\cdot h}{2}\)

Surface

\(\displaystyle A = a\cdot b + 2\cdot a\cdot c + h\cdot b\)

Side c

\(\displaystyle c = \sqrt{h^2 + \left( \frac{b}{2} \right)^2} \)

Height h

\(\displaystyle h = \sqrt{c^2 - \left( \frac{b}{2} \right)^2} \)
