Question

Aarón made a picture frame with the dimensions show in the figure what is the area of the picture

Answer 1

Area of the picture is
`72\textrm{ }cm^(2)`

Explanation:

Given:

Outer rectangle dimensions are 10 cm by 12 cm.

Inner rectangle dimensions are 6 cm by 8 cm.

Area of the picture given as:

`Area=\textrm{Outer rectangle area}-\textrm{Inner rectangle area}`

Outer rectangle area =
`10* 12=120\textrm{ }cm^(2)`

Inner rectangle area =
`6* 8=48\textrm{ }cm^(2)`

Therefore, the area of the picture is given:

`Area=120-48=72\textrm{ }cm^(2)`
