window is a rectangle, what is two triangles.
In order to find a length of the diagonal imaginary side of the window we need to find it by thinking about triangles formula a^2=b^2+c62
28^2+42^2=x
784+1764= root of 2548 is 50.8 inches
four foot drywall is 48 inches.
it is going to get through window of 28" wide by 42" high.
