Answer 1

To find the area of the frame, we need to find the area of the larger rectangle and subtract the area of the smaller rectangle (which is the area of the painting).

Let's assume the dimensions of the larger rectangle are A x B and the dimensions of the smaller rectangle (painting) are C x D.

From the picture, we can see that A = 24 units, B = 32 units, C = 16 units, and D = 20 units.

Area of the larger rectangle = A x B = 24 x 32 = 768 square units
Area of the smaller rectangle (painting) = C x D = 16 x 20 = 320 square units

Area of the frame = Area of the larger rectangle - Area of the smaller rectangle = 768 - 320 = 448 square units

Therefore, the area of the frame is 448 square units.

None of the options provided match this calculation, so the correct option is not listed.

Answer 2

what is the answer

Answer 3

My apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's reevaluate the area of the frame.

Looking at the picture, the frame consists of a larger rectangle with dimensions 24 x 32 and a smaller rectangle (the painting) with dimensions 16 x 20.

Area of the larger rectangle = 24 x 32 = 768 square units
Area of the smaller rectangle (painting) = 16 x 20 = 320 square units

Therefore, to find the area of the frame, we subtract the area of the smaller rectangle from the area of the larger rectangle:

768 - 320 = 448 square units

Therefore, the area of the frame is 448 square units. Thank you for your patience.
