.
To place three paintings of equal width on a wall with
equal gaps between each painting and equal spaces on
each end (between the other walls and end paintings):
.
To get available space for gaps, we subtract total of painting
widths from total wall length. Since there are a total of
four gaps, (one at each end and two between paintings),
we divide by 4 to find length of each gap.
.
Let L=length of wall; W=width of painting; G=gap
.
G=(L-3W)/4
