Question

A picture frame is 9 inches long and 6 inches wide. It can display a picture 6 inches long and 4 inches wide. What is the area of the picture frame?

Answer 1

30 in^2

Explanation:

Frame

Length = 9

Width = 6

9 * 6 = 54in^2 (Multiply to get 54)

Picture

Length = 6

Width = 4

6*4 = 24in^2 ( Multiply to get 24 )

54 - 24 = 30in^2 ( Minus 24 from 54 to get 30)

Formula l*w

It's length times width NOT length times hight like the other person said

Answer 2

30 inches squared

Explanation:

First, find the area of the entire frame using length times height. 9*6 is 54 inches squared. Then, find the area of the middle space the same way. 6*4 is 24 inches squared. Lastly, subtract the middle from the entire frame's area. 54-24 is 30 inches squared.
