The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling once the mirror is hung on the wall is 21 inches

The dimension of the mirror is given as:

Height = 24\ in

Width = 28\ in

From the center of the mirror to the floor of the wall, the distance is:

Distance =5\frac14\ ft

So, the distance to the top of the mirror will be:

Top = 5\frac 14\ ft + \frac 12 \times Height

Substitute 24 for height

Top = 5\frac 14\ ft+ \frac 12 \times 24\ in

Top = 5\frac 14\ ft+ 12 \ in

Convert feet to inches

Top = 5\frac 14\times 12\ in+ 12 \ in

Top = 63\ in+ 12 \ in

Top = 75 \ in

The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling is the difference between the height of the wall and 75 inches.

So, we have:

Distance = 8\ ft - 75\ in

Convert feet to inches

Distance = 8\times 12\ in - 75\ in

Distance = 96\ in - 75\ in

Distance = 21\ in

Hence, the distance is 21 inches

max said that 36594 is less than 5980 because 3 is less then 5 describe max's error and give the correct answer
Verizon [17]
He was wrong because, although three is greater than five, the value of the three is in the ten thousands place, while the five is in the thousands place. Therefore, the correct answer would be that 36594 is greater than 5980.
