Question

jan bought a framed print that measures 16 inches by 20 inches. how many square inches of wall space will it take up?

Answer 1

320 square inches

Explanation:

To find out how much wall space it will take up, we'll need to find its area.

The framed print is in the shape of a rectangle, so we'll work out its area using the formula Area=Length*Width. Note that it doesn't matter which way around you put length and width.

That's
`Area=16*20=320` (square inches)

Answer 2

320
`in^2`

Explanation:

"How many square inches of wall space will it take up? is the same as asking What is the area of the framed print?"

The area is 16in*20 in =
`320 in^2`

Hope this helps :)
