Answer:
Area of the picture is [tex]72\textrm{ }cm^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Outer rectangle dimensions are 10 cm by 12 cm.
Inner rectangle dimensions are 6 cm by 8 cm.
Area of the picture given as:
[tex]Area=\textrm{Outer rectangle area}-\textrm{Inner rectangle area}[/tex]
Outer rectangle area = [tex]10\times 12=120\textrm{ }cm^{2}[/tex]
Inner rectangle area = [tex]6\times 8=48\textrm{ }cm^{2}[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the picture is given:
[tex]Area=120-48=72\textrm{ }cm^{2}[/tex]
