Question

The king wishes to remove his portrait from the photo frame. Calculate the area of the frame of the photograph to be removed from the figure below.

• A. 600 sq. in.
• B. 1200 sq. in.
• C. 750 sq. in.
• D. 1000 sq. in.

Answer 1

The correct option is A 600 sq. in.

We know,
Area of a rectangle = Length of rectangle $\times$ Breadth of rectangle.


Here length of actual frame = 40 inches
Breadth of actual frame = 30 inches.
So, area of the entire framed photograph will be:
$=40in\times 30in=1200sq.in$.


Length of the actual photo of the king = 30 inches.
Breadth of the actual photo of the king = 20 inches.

So, area of the actual photograph without the frame is:
$=30in\times 20in=600sq.in$.

Therefore,
Area of the $frame$$=1200sq.in-600sq.in$
$=600sq.in$.

Hence, the area of the frame of the photograph is $600sq.in$.
