half of the length (11\") is 5.5\" __ this is exactly 3\" shorter than the width (8.5\")\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "fold paper in half lengthwise __ paper is now 8.5\" x 5.5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "fold paper so that it creases in a corner and the 5.5\" side is aligned with the 8.5\" side
\n" ); document.write( "__ the \"overhang\" beyond the end of the 5.5\" side is 3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "folding the 3\" over will enable you to mark a point that is exactly 6\" from the edge along the first fold \n" ); document.write( "
