Answer: The area of the photo that fits the frame is 192 square inches.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a rectangle (A) = Length x width

Replacing with the values given and solving for A (area):

A = 16 x 12 = 192 in2

The area of the photo that fits the frame is 192 square inches.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
