Question

The lengths of three sides of a rectangular rug are 25 inches, 50 inches, and 25 inches. What is the

length of the fourth side of the rug?

Answer 1

Answer is 50 inches.

A rectangle has two sides of equal length.

It is given that two sides have a length of 25 inches, leaving the 50 inch side.

Again, as a rectangle has two sides of equal length, the fourth length has to be 50 inches to be in equal length of the other 50 inch length.

Answer 2

50

Explanation:

a rectangle has 2 of the same side lengths and another 2 of the same side lengths. We know that there is a 25 and 25, so there must be another 50 to that 50.
