How many more feet does the porch extend in front of the house than it does beyond the side of the house?

Here;
The porch extend in front of the house from diagram = $$19\frac{1}{2} - 18$$ = $$1\frac{1}{2}$$

The porch extend by the side of the house from diagram = $$19\frac{1}{2}$$ $$-(4 + 14\frac{1}{2})$$ = $$19\frac{1}{2}$$ $$- 18\frac{1}{2}$$ = 1

Therefore the porch extend in front of the house than it does beyond the side of the house = $$1\frac{1}{2} - 1$$= $$\frac{1}{2}$$
