Answer:

12ft²

Explanation:

The frame is rectangular in nature, to determine a reasonable value for how much wall space the portrait will cover, we will take the area of the frame.

Given

Length of the frame = 45in

Width of the frame = 37in

Required

Area of the frame

Area of the rectangular frame = Length * Breadth

Area of the rectangular frame = 45in * 37in

Given 1feet = 12in

45in = 45/12 ft= 3.75ft

37 in = 37/12 ft = 3.083 ft

Area of the frame = 3.75ft * 3.083 ft

Area of the frame = 11.56ft²

Area of the frame ≈ 12ft²
