The area of the frame not covered by the painting is 192 square inches
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, A rectangular painting is 24 inches wide and 20 inches tall without the frame
The area of rectangle is given as:
<em><u>Find the area of painting without frame:</u></em>
Length = 20 inches
Width = 24 inches
Thus area of painting without frame is 480 square inches
With the frame, it is 28 inches wide and 24 inches tall
<em><u>Find the area of painting with frame:</u></em>
Length = 24 inches
Width = 28 inches
Thus area of painting with frame is 672 square inches
<em><u>What is the area of the frame not covered by the painting</u></em>
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
