A picture is copied onto a sheet of paper 8 inches by 10 inches. A 1 inch margin is left all around the picture. Find the length, width, and area of the picture.

the length is 10 and the width is 8 but i don't understand how the 1 inch margin comes into play? is the area just 10 * 8 = 80?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Subtracting 1 inch on all sides, the picture measures 6 by 8 inches.

Answered by Cali
so the length is 8 and the width is 6 and the area is 48?
Answered by Cali
wait, if you're subtracting 1 inch on all sides wouldn't it be 10 - 1 = 9 and 8 - 1 = 7?
Answered by Ms. Sue
You're subtracting 2 inches because there's a 1-inch margin on all four sides.

Yes, the area is 48 square inches.
