A framed picture 20 inches wide and 36 inches high is shown in the diagram below. The picture will be hung on a wall where the distance from the floor is 10 feet. The center of the picture frame must be 2 3/4 feet from the floor.
A) determine the distance from ceiling to the top of the picture frame.
got the same question, since the 2 3/4 ft part of the diagram appears to be halfway between both the center of the picture and the ceiling at 33 inches, divide 33 by 2 which would get you the answer that the distance between the top of the picture frame and the ceiling is 16.5 inches
To determine the distance from the ceiling to the top of the picture frame, we need to subtract the distance from the floor to the center of the picture frame (2 3/4 feet) from the total distance from the floor (10 feet).
Step 1: Convert 2 3/4 feet to an improper fraction.
2 3/4 = (4 * 2 + 3) / 4 = 11/4 feet
Step 2: Subtract 11/4 feet from 10 feet.
10 feet - 11/4 feet = 40/4 feet - 11/4 feet = (40 - 11) / 4 feet = 29/4 feet
Therefore, the distance from the ceiling to the top of the picture frame is 29/4 feet.
To determine the distance from the ceiling to the top of the picture frame, we can subtract the height of the frame from the total distance between the floor and the ceiling.
Given:
- Distance from the floor to the ceiling: 10 feet
- Height of the picture frame: 36 inches
First, we need to convert the height of the picture frame to feet since the distance from the floor to the ceiling is given in feet.
1 foot = 12 inches, so the height of the picture frame in feet is: 36 inches / 12 inches/foot = 3 feet.
Now we can calculate the distance from the ceiling to the top of the picture frame:
Ceiling to top of frame = Total distance - Height of frame
Ceiling to top of frame = 10 feet - 3 feet = 7 feet.
Therefore, the distance from the ceiling to the top of the picture frame is 7 feet.
No diagram. Cannot copy and paste here.
Assuming the wall is 10 feet high:
12(10 - 2.75) - 36/2 = ? inches
That is extremely low to hang a picture. Usually they are hung at close to eye level.
