Answer 1

Answer:

7.5sqcm

Step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved by

area of rectangle=6*8=48 sqcm

area of frame including rectangle will be =6.5*8.5=55.25 sqcm

by subtracting them we will get area of the frame

55.25-48

=7.5 sqcm

Answer 2

Answer:

15cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle is 8*6 =48cm²

now the picture has added 0.5 to both sides of the image

that is new lenght is 8 + 0.5 +0.5= 9cm

while new width is 6 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 7cm

area of total picture 9*7 = 63cm²

Area of frame is =area of picture - area of rectangle

=(63 - 48)cm²

=15cm²
