Which measurement describes the anchor on the cover?

• A. 2 inches back, 1 1/2 inches on the flat side
• B. 2 inches back, 1 1/2 inches on the curved side
• C. 3 inches back, 1 1/2 inches on the flat side
• D. 2 inches back, 1/4 inch on the flat side

Answer: (B)

The question tests reading a dimensioned diagram to locate a feature on a cover by using two reference edges. The anchor’s position is fixed by two measurements: how far it sits from the back edge and how far it sits from the curved edge. In the diagram the anchor is 2 inches back from the back edge and 1.5 inches from the curved edge. That combination places the anchor precisely where it’s shown relative to those two reference lines, which is why that description is the correct match. Measuring from the flat side would place the anchor in a different spot than shown, and the other distances either place it too near or too far from the edges, contradicting the illustrated location. When a feature is defined by two distances from perpendicular edges, use both references in the diagram to verify the exact spot.
