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?

Answer 1

To find the area of this we have to multiply length times width

9 in* 8in
72 in^2

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

`72in^2`

Explanation:

The rectangle frame has an area of

`A=length* height`

the length of the frame is 9 inches, and the height of the frame is 8 inches, so:

`A=9in*8in=72in^2`

And since this is the area of the frame you can not put a picture in it that has an area larger than that because it would not fit.

So the maximum area a picture can have to fit in is
`72in^2`.
