Answer 4

No, it's not a good estimation. Think about it, the max possible length and width is 3.7 and 4.2 which becomes 15.54 for one window.

4 windows at that rate still only ends up at 62.16 but he estimates 64....

It's not even possible for it to be 64, so bad estimate. Unreasonable.

Answer 5

should it be higher or lower
