Question

A picture frame is 16 inches long and 9 inches tall. It is 2 inches wide on all 4 sides. What is the area of the picture frame?

Answer 1

Area of frame=area of total-area of inside ting

area=lenght times width
so

inner one
length is 16-2-2 (both sides) or 12
width or height is 9-2-2=5
so area is 12 times 5=60

outter one
16 by 9
16 times 9=144

so
outer-inner=144-60=84

so 2nd option
