If Cara hangs the poster so that the center of the poster is located at the center of the wall, how far will the left and right edges of the poster be from the right end of the wall?

Answer 1

Answer:

225.5cm and 134.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the width of the poster is 91cm

We divide this width into 2

= 91cm/2

= 45.5cm

We are told that the center of the wall is 180cm right from the end of the wall.

Therefore,

Left edges of the poster from the right end of the all

= 180cm + 45.5cm

= 225.5 cm

The right edges of the poster from the right end of the all

= 180cm - 45.5cm

= 134.5 cm

Therefore, if Cara hangs the poster so that the center of the poster is located at the center of the wall, the left and right edges of the poster will be 225.5cm and 134.5cm from the right end of the wall respectfully.
