Explain a wedge and give 3 examples.

A wedge is basically an incline plane. Often portable used for many purposes

Explanation: A wedge is a double inclined plane such that the two sloping surfaces taper to form either a sharp edge or a pointed edge. For example, a knife, an axe etc.

In a few cases, the number of inclined planes used can be more than two as well. In such cases, the sloping surfaces generally taper to form either a very sharp or a pointed edge to split or pierce materials. For example, pins, nails etc.

The front end of a boat is shaped like a wedge so that it can easily cut across the flowing water.

The Door Stop Is an example of one,

A Knife is a very thin wedge because it slices through objects

Chisels are used to dig into stone and chip away at it to create sculptures.

your answer is "the 1950's"

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
