    You start the shelf 4 ft. 9 in. from the wall

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The game plan is to take the length of the shelf away from the length of the wall, and then divide the remaining part into two equal pieces.

    13 ft.

    - 3 ft. 6 in.

    12 ft 12 in,

    - 3ft 6 in

    9 ft 6 in.

    9 ft. 6 inches divided by 2 equals 4.5 ft, 3 in.

    .5 ft * 12 inches = 6 inches
