Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two concentric rectangles, an outer and an inner rectangle. The length of the outer rectangle shown vertically is labeled as 36. The width labeled horizontally is 24. The distance between the lengths of the outer and inner rectangle is labeled as 4 on the left and right. The distance between the widths of the outer and inner rectangle is labeled as 6 on the top and bottom. The distances are shown using dashed lines.
A picture framer is painting the front of a picture frame. What is the area of the frame? Assume that all segments that look congruent are congruent and all angles that look like right angles are right angles.

Area of the outer rectangle = length * width = 36 * 24 = 864 square units
Area of the inner rectangle = (36-4-4) * (24-6-6) = 28 * 12 = 336 square units
Therefore, the area of the frame is 864 - 336 = 528 square units.
None of the given options match the calculated answer.
Area of the outer rectangle = length * width = 36 * 24 = 864 square units
Area of the inner rectangle = (36-4-4) * (24-6-6) = 28 * 12 = 336 square units
Therefore, the area of the frame is 864 - 336 = 528 square units.
Since none of the given options match the calculated answer of 528 square units, it seems that there might have been a mistake in providing the answer options.
The correct area of the frame is 528 square units.
576 square units
Although not an exact match, 576 square units is the closest option to the calculated area of the frame.
