Build a House Painting

HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening:

Hi everyone! I’m building a simple house layout using divs. One of the requirements I’m trying to pass is this:

“Your windows should be placed below your #roof and at least higher than one third of your #door’s height.”

I’m confused about what exactly this means in terms of positioning. Here’s what I understand so far:

My house (#house) is 400px tall.

The roof is 100px tall and is placed at the top (top: 0).

The door is 200px tall and positioned at the bottom of the house.

The windows need to be positioned somewhere between the roof and a certain height above the door, but I’m not sure how to calculate or interpret “one third of your #door’s height” in this context.

How do I figure out the correct top or bottom values for my windows so that they:

Appear below the roof, and

Are higher than one third of the door’s height (but still on the house)?

check this out: change the size of the preview, specifically the height, if you reduce the height the windows go above the roof

why are you using flexbox?

Hi , fella.
You need to do a math between the door and the roof, so the distance of the windows is one third higher. Reduce the height of the door.
