<h3>Answer:</h3>
6.8 inches
<h3>Explanation:</h3>The shortest distance from P to the circle is along the line between P and the center of the circle. That line is the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are PQ and QC (where C is the circle center).
The Pythagorean theorem tells you
... PC² = PQ² +QC²
... PC² = 13² +9² = 250
... PC = √250 = 5√10 ≈ 15.8114 . . . . inches
The distance from P to the circle is 9 in less than this, so is
... 15.8114 - 9 = 6.8114 ≈ 6.8 . . . . inches

Answer:
- 5 ft from ceiling
- 9 ft from side wall
Step-by-step explanation:
Halfway along the 18' length from side wall to side wall will be 18'/2 = 9' from either wall.
Halfway along the 10' length from floor to ceiling will be 10'/2 = 5' from the ceiling (or floor).
The midpoint of the wall is 5' from the ceiling and 9' from the side wall.
