Answer:
64 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area of the larger rectangle first, and then minus the area of the smaller rectangle.
The length of the larger rectangle
= 9-3 = 6 in
The width of the larger rectangle
= 17-1 = 16 in
The area of the larger rectangle
= 6×16
= 96 in²
The length of the smaller rectangle
= 8-4 = 4 in
The width of the smaller rectangle
= 13-5 = 8 in
The area of the smaller rectangle
= 4×8
= 32 in²
The area of the picture frame
= 96-32
= 64 in²
