Question

A paining measures 2.4 feet from the left to right it's hung on the center of the rectangle or wall measuring to 20 feet from left to right what is the distance between the right edge in the painting of the page of the wall reason that the paining does not tilt

Answer 1

the distance between the right edge of the painting and right edge of the wall = 8.8 ft

Explanation:

From the question, the painting is hung in center of a rectangular wall and so the distance between them on either side will be the same.

Thus, we will divide the length of the painting and wall by 2 to get 2.4/2 = 1.2 ft and 20/2 = 10 ft .

So, the distance between the right edge of the painting and right edge of the wall will be;

D = 10 - 1.2 = 8.8 ft
