To calculate the thickness, we need to know the dimension of the 1x3's construction. The "1x3" typically refers to a nominal sizing, where the actual dimensions could be different. For example, a 1x3 board could have an actual size of 0.75 inches x 2.5 inches.
So, let's assume the actual dimensions of the 1x3 board are 0.75 inches thick and 2.5 inches wide.
If you use 4 of these 1x3 boards and stack them together side by side, the total width would be:
2.5 inches x 4 = 10 inches.
However, the thickness would remain the same since we are not adding any extra thickness to the construction by simply stacking the boards side by side.
Therefore, if you used 4 1x3 boards in this manner, the thickness would still be 0.75 inches.
how thick would it be if you used 4 1x3’s construction
