Answer:

hi

your answer is here !

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: 13.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of the towel bar.

Since, the towel bar's ends from each end of the door are 7.75 each,

Thus, the width of the door = x + 7.75 + 7.75 = x + 15.5

But, According to the question,

The width of the door = 29 inches,

Therefore, x + 15.5 = 29

⇒ x = 13.5 inches
