A three-sided figure cannot be a rectangle, as a rectangle has four sides. However, if you meant a three-sided figure with one right angle (which is called a right triangle), we can calculate the width using the Pythagorean theorem.
Let the length of the right triangle be 3.25 feet.
Let the width of the right triangle be w feet.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
w^2 + (3.25)^2 = hypotenuse^2
w^2 + 10.5625 = hypotenuse^2
Since the triangle is three-sided, the hypotenuse is the missing side. To find it, we can rearrange the equation:
hypotenuse^2 = w^2 + 10.5625
hypotenuse = √(w^2 + 10.5625)
Since the triangle has only one right angle, the hypotenuse is the longest side. However, without further information, we cannot determine the exact value of the width.
