Answer:16
Step-by-step explanation:18- 3=16
Given: It is given that the length of the painting is 24 inches and the width is 11 inches.
To find: Area of the mat
Solution:
The watercolor painting is 24 inches long by 11 inches wide.
So, the area of the painting is:



The length of painting with mat is = 24 in + 3 in + 3 in = 30 in
The width of painting with mat = 11 in + 3 in + 3 in = 17 in


Now to calculate the area of mat subtracts the area of painting from the area of the mat.



Hence, the area of the mat is 246 in².
