Answer:

The length of the painting, including the frame.

Explanation:

We are given that a painting includes a frame of a fixed width around the painting and the total area of the painting is represented by the expression:


(4+2x)(9+2x)

We are to determine what does
(9+2x) represent.

(9+2x) represents the length of the painting, including the frame because
(4+2x)(9+2x) is the area of the painting including the frame. The longer side
(9+2x) represents the length.
