The area of the frame not covered by the painting is 192 square inches
Solution:
Given that, A rectangular painting is 24 inches wide and 20 inches tall without the frame
The area of rectangle is given as:
[tex]Area = length \times width[/tex]
Find the area of painting without frame:
Length = 20 inches
Width = 24 inches
[tex]Area\ Without\ Frame = 20 \times 24 = 480[/tex]
Thus area of painting without frame is 480 square inches
With the frame, it is 28 inches wide and 24 inches tall
Find the area of painting with frame:
Length = 24 inches
Width = 28 inches
[tex]Area\ with\ frame = 24 \times 28 = 672[/tex]
Thus area of painting with frame is 672 square inches
What is the area of the frame not covered by the painting
Area of the frame not covered by the painting = Area with farme - Area without frame
Area of the frame not covered by the painting = 672 - 480 = 192
Thus the area of the frame not covered by the painting is 192 square inches
