Answer 1

To find which side length would complete the rectangle, we first need to convert the side lengths into a consistent unit. Let's convert everything to inches:

- 0.75 yard = 0.75 × 36 inches = 27 inches
- 3 feet = 3 × 12 inches = 36 inches
- 1 yard = 1 × 36 inches = 36 inches

Now we have the side lengths in inches:
- 27 inches
- 36 inches
- 36 inches

In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal. Since we have two sides of 36 inches, the length that would complete the rectangle by matching the remaining side length must be 27 inches.

So, the answer is **27 inches**.
