Answer 1

make a sketch and work in inches
label the centre of the picture as P.

that point must be (8-5 1/4) ft or (96-63) inches or <b> 33 inches from the ceiling. </b>
from P to the top of the painting is 14 inches

so from the top of the painting to the ceiling must be
33 - 14 inches or 19 inches
