Question

A construction worker needs to put a rectangular window in the side of a building. He knows from measuring that the top and bottom of the window have a width of 3 feet . He also measured one length to be 5 feet . What is the length of the last side ?

Answer 1

Answer: 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 sides. The opposite sides are parallel and have the same length.

Top and bottom of the window are opposite, so they have the same measure of 3 feet.

One length of the window is 5 feet. Since the last side is opposite to the length of the window, it has the same length, i.e., its value is 5 feet.
