Here’s a really simple trick to determining the center (both length and width-wise) of a rectangle or square.
One of your fellow viewer family members, @jaysaw8151, shared this simple trick and it’s a good one!
Since there are mathematical proportions throughout a square or rectangle, you can simply use one diagonal measurement, from opposing corners, and mark the halfway point. You have now found the halfway point from top to bottom and side to side of the rectangle or square.
To do this, use a ruler, yardstick (or meterstick), drywall square, or ruled straightedge and place it across the rectangle or square, with one edge aligned with two opposing corners. You have two ways you can now get the half point on the ruled edge.
You can put one corner at the zero point of the rule and note the total distance to the other corner. Then divide that distance by 2 to get the point.
Or, you can have the straight edge extend equal amounts over each corner. Then use the rule’s halfway point (like 24” on a 48” rule) to mark the center point.
Easy! You just need to be sure that you are working with a true square or rectangle, and the geometry will take care of the rest.
JUST DO IT YOURSELF!
