Because this image has no intrinsic dimensions or ratio, it expands to fill the entire background positioning area, so its width is 100px and its height is 700px. For those carefully-chosen dimensions, d = 500px, so 10% of that creates a 50px-wide rectangle, vertically centered and horizontally left-aligned in the image. --> <line x1="25%" y1="25%" x2="25%" y2="75%" stroke="fuchsia" stroke-width="10%"/> </svg>
