A 512 page book has pages 7 inches wide by 9 inches high. The printed area measures 5.375 iches by 7.75 inches. The left margin is 0.3125 inches and the top margin is 0.5625 inches
How wide are the margins at the bottom of each page?
h = 0.5625 + 7.75 + W = 9.
W = 9 - 0.5625 - -7.75 = 0.6875 in. = Width of margins @ bottom of each page.
To find the width of the margins at the bottom of each page, we can subtract the dimensions of the printed area from the total dimensions of the page.
Given:
- The total width of the page is 7 inches.
- The total height of the page is 9 inches.
- The printed area width is 5.375 inches.
- The printed area height is 7.75 inches.
- The left margin is 0.3125 inches.
- The top margin is 0.5625 inches.
We can calculate the bottom margin width using the following steps:
1. Subtract the width of the left margin from the total width of the page:
Total Width of Page - Left Margin Width
7 inches - 0.3125 inches = 6.6875 inches
2. Subtract the width of the printed area from the calculated width above to find the right margin width:
Calculated Width - Printed Area Width
6.6875 inches - 5.375 inches = 1.3125 inches
3. Divide the right margin width by 2 to get the bottom margin width since the left and right margins are the same:
Right Margin Width / 2
1.3125 inches / 2 = 0.65625 inches
Therefore, the margins at the bottom of each page are 0.65625 inches wide.
