Wedge (geometry)
In solid geometry, a wedge is a polyhedron defined by two triangles and three trapezoid faces. A wedge has five faces, nine edges, and six vertices. A wedge is a subclass of the prismatoids with the base and opposite ridge in two parallel planes. A wedge can also be classified as a digonal cupola. Comparisons: * A wedge is a parallelepiped where a face has collapsed into a line. * A quadrilaterally-based pyramid is a wedge in which one of the edges between two trapezoid faces has collapsed into a point. Volume For a rectangle based wedge, the volume is :V = bh\left(\frac+\frac\right), where the base rectangle is ''a'' by ''b'', ''c'' is the apex edge length parallel to ''a'', and ''h'' the height from the base rectangle to the apex edge. Examples Wedges can be created from decomposition of other polyhedra. For instance, the dodecahedron can be divided into a central cube with 6 wedges covering the cube faces.
