No.
acceleration of block of mass m is gsin(thetha) which is along the planed inclined surface of wedge.
Acostheta is the acceleration of wedge of mass M.
After doing components of each blocks respectively the forces have been balanced along with x and y directions that is along the normal force between the wedsge and the block m and along with the inclined plane.
