Answer:

The answer is 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information is :

A room measures 12 feet by 12 feet.

We will convert it into inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

12 feet = $12\times12=144$ inches

A couch is 10 feet and 6 inches long.

10 feet 6 inches can be converted to inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

10 feet = $10\times12=120$ inches + 6 inches

Total couch is = 126 inches

We will find Wall − couch measurement:

$144-126=18$ inches

So, at one end it will be = $\frac{18}{2}=9$ inches.

Therefore, 9 inches is the answer.
