Problem 1

Good news! The new movie you’ve been wanting to see is now streaming! You can’t wait to watch it, but before you can do that, you have to hang the TV on the wall. The wall is 9 feet wide and your TV is 65 inches. Your TV needs to be mounted in the center of the wall. Where is the center point of the wall?

The Center point of the wall is 54 Inches.

Problem 2

You have a window in your bedroom that faces East. You enjoy the sunlight during the day, but really dislike the sun shining brightly in your eyes first thing in the morning. Luckily, a pair of window treatments (curtains), will help solve this problem. With your window treatments (curtains) going all the way up to the ceiling, determine what size window treatments (curtains) you need. Keep in mind that you have a ceiling height of 8 feet.

Use the grid on the drawing to help you determine what size is needed.

Note: Each block = 6 inches
