21.59-13.09= 8.5 cm
if its centered, it will same distance from the margin from the left and right.
So its distance from left or right margin is 8.5/2 = 4.25 cm

The figure is 13.09 units wide.
It appears centered on the page.
The width of the page is 21.59 cm.

To find the margin, first we need to subtract

21.59 cm - 13.09 cm = 8.5 cm

Then, we divide this difference by two

8.5/2 = 4.25 cm

Therefore, Joelle should leave a margin of 4.25 cm at each side.
