Answer:

new side 1 = 22⅝ in

For side 2:

New height = 2⅞

New base = 1⅔ in

New corner = 1 in

New side 3 = 18⅝ in

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that a customer has offered to pay extra if you will make one half the size called for in the plans.

Thus, we will divide each number by 2

We are given side 1 = 45 1/4 in = 45.25 in

New side 1 = 45.25/2 = 22.625

Converting to fraction form: new side 1 = 22⅝ in

We are given side 2 = (Gusset plate)

Height = 5¾ in = 5.75 in

New height = 5.75/2 = =2.875

Converting to fraction:

New height = 2⅞

Base = 3⅓ in = 3.33 in

New base = 3.33/2 = 1.66

Converting to fraction:

New base = 1⅔ in

Corner of side 2 is 2 inches thick

New corner = 2/2 = 1 in

side 3 (floor plate) = 37¼ in = 37.25 in

New side 3 = 37.25/2 = 18.625

Converting to fraction:

New side 3 = 18⅝ in
