To find the length of the fourth side of the rectangle, we need to identify the two pairs of equal sides.
The given side lengths are:
- 1 foot
- 1.5 feet
- 12 inches
First, let's convert all the measurements to inches for consistency:
1 foot = 12 inches, so:
- 1 foot = 12 inches
- 1.5 feet = 1.5 * 12 inches = 18 inches
- 12 inches = 12 inches
Now we have the lengths:
- 12 inches
- 18 inches
- 12 inches
A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides. Since we already have two sides of 12 inches, we need to find the length of the fourth side, which will also be equal to one of the given sides.
The only remaining distinct side length we have is 18 inches.
Therefore, the length of the fourth side of the rectangle is 18 inches.
