Question

 A rectangular pane of glass measures 9 inches by 15 inches. It is surrounded by a wooden frame that measures 2 inches wide. What is the area of the window, including the frame?

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must find the area of the window including the frame! To do this, we must find the area of the glass pane and the area of the wooden frame.

The area of the glass pane is 9 X 15 = 135 square inches

The are of the wooden frame is 11 X 17 = 187 square inches

Finally, we add the two areas to find the combined areas 135 + 187 = 322 square inches!

I hope this helped!
