Mr Ferris is hanging pictures on the wall. He would like the picture to be in the center of the wall. The picture measures 22 1/2 inches wide. The wall measures 6 feet wide. How many inches should be on either side?

24.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 72 ( 6 foot in inches) subtract 22 1/2 from it. You get 49.5. divide 49.5 by 2 and you get 24.75 on each side of the wall. You're welcome . Dont forget to show work.

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.

the translated point is (5,2)
