Question

A designer is hanging a mirror that is 101 centimeters (cm) wide in a room.

The center of the wall is 190 cm from the right end of the wall. If the designer
hangs the mirror 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

240.5 cm and 139.5 cm, respectively

Explanation:

101 cm / 2 = 50.5 cm

The right edge of the mirror is 50.5 cm to the right of the center line.

The right end of the wall is 190 cm from the center line.

190 cm - 50.5 cm = 139.5 cm

139.5 cm + 101 cm = 240.5 cm

240.5 cm and 139.5 cm, respectively
