A living room wall is 13 feet long. How far from the corner would you have to the edge of a 3ft 6in shelf for it to be centered on the wall?

Sagot :

Answer:

You start the shelf 4 ft. 9 in. from the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The game plan is to take the length of the shelf away from the length of the wall, and then divide the remaining part into two equal pieces.

13 ft.

-  3 ft. 6 in.

12 ft  12 in,

- 3ft    6 in

9 ft   6 in.

9 ft. 6 inches divided by 2 equals 4.5 ft, 3 in.

.5 ft * 12 inches = 6 inches

You start the shelf 4 ft. 9 in. from the wall.
