Question

Po has a frame that is 9 in x 8 in. What is the maximum area the picture can have to fit in the frame? A) 63 sq in B) 72 sq in C) 81 sq in D) 96 sq in

Answer 1

B. 72.       that seems to be a rectangle. area for a rectangle is Length times Width. so 9x8=72. 

Answer 2

B) 72 sq in

Explanation:

The maximum size of the picture that can fit into the frame must be equivalent to the area of the shape. Given that the frame is 9 in x 8 in, it may be safe to conclude that the frame is a 4 sides plane shape, a rectangle.

The area of a rectangle is given as the product of it's length and breadth, which are 9 in and 8 in respectively. Hence, maximum area the picture can have to fit in the frame

= 9 in * 8 in

= 72 sq in
