Answer 1

No

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the product of its length and width. We can fill in the given numbers to find the width.

... A = LW

... 8137.68 cm² = (82.7 cm)W

... 98.4 cm = W . . . . . divide by 82.7 cm

This dimension of Carmen's canvas is greater than the 95 cm frame opening, so we conclude the canvas will not fit.
