It has a width of 50 cm. The tile must fit around a corner of a fireplace so a piece is sawed out. The extracted piece is a smaller square and its side length is only 25.0 cm. Because of the cutout segment, the center of mass of the ceramic tile shifts a bit from point A to point B. Nixon needs help to find the distance between point A and B the ceramic tile her boss gave him. 50cm 25cm 8 Sarrow_forward
