The painting and frame together form a larger rectangle with length 25cm, space, c, m and width 20cm, space, c, m. Find the area of the frame. Assume no overlap between the frame and painting.

Respuesta :

The area of the frame is 180 cm^2.

Answer:

180 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula

A = l * w, where l is the length of the rectangle and w is the width.

The area of the framed picture is given by

A = 25(20) = 500 cm².

The area of just the painting is given by

A = 16(20) = 320 cm²

This means the area of just the frame is given by

500-320 = 180 cm²
