You can put this solution on YOUR website! The center of the window should sit on the center of the room.
So at the center of the room, place a ruler and place a mark inches to the left at X where,
.
.
. is the position of the left side of the window.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the center of the wall ft in
and in in
----------------------
The center of the wall is at 8 ft 8.5 in from the edge
----------------------
Find 1/2 of the width of the window in = ft + in
-------------------------------------
Now subtract 1/2 of the width of the window from
1/2 the width of the wall
------------------------- ft in
--------------------
The left edge of the window is 5 ft 7 in from the
left edge of the wall
--------------------
Also, the right edge of the window is 5 ft 7 in from
the right edge of the wall
--------------------------
check:
5 ft 7 in + 5 ft 7 in = 11 ft 2 in
and = 6 ft 3 in
and
11 ft 2 in + 6 ft 3 in = 17 ft 5 in
OK
