Area of the rectangular picture = L x B = 8 x 6

= 48 sq.cm. Area of the whole surface is 9 x 8 = 63 sq. cm

Area of the frame is 63 – 48

= 15 sq. cm

Find the dimensions of the outer rectangle (picture + frame). The width of the frame is 1/2 cm on each side, so the dimensions of the outer rectangle will increase by 1 cm in both width and height. New width =6cm + 1cm = 7cm 6cm+1cm=7cm New height =8cm+1cm=9cm 8cm+1cm=9cm Find the area of the outer rectangle. Area of outer rectangle=7cm×9cm=63cm² Area of outer rectangle=7cm×9cm=63cm² Find the area of the picture. Area of the picture=6cm×8cm=48cm² Area of the picture=6cm×8cm=48cm² Find the area of the frame. Area of the frame=Area of outer rectangle−Area of picture=63cm²−48cm²=15cm² The area of the frame is 15 cm².
