Answer 2

You start the shelf 4 ft. 9 in. from the wall

Explanation:

The game plan is to take the length of the shelf away from the length of the wall, and then divide the remaining part into two equal pieces.

13 ft.

- 3 ft. 6 in.

12 ft 12 in,

9 ft 6 in.

9 ft. 6 inches divided by 2 equals 4.5 ft, 3 in.

.5 ft * 12 inches = 6 inches
