Height = 8 \; feet

Conclusion:

Length of smaller wall (in blue color) is 14 feet

Width of smaller wall (in blue color) is 8 feet

Length of Larger wall (in brown color) is 20 feet

Width of the Larger wall (in brown color) is 8 feet

A rectangular room is 14 feet by 20 feet. The ceiling is 8 feet high. How do you find-example-1
