Answer :
Answer:
280 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the total area of the margin is shown below:
Given that
Length = 44 cm
Breadth = 30 cm
Area of the cardboard = 44 × 30 cm² = 1,320 cm²
Now
Length of the painting eliminating the margin is
= [44 - (2 + 2)] cm
= 40 cm
And,
Breadth of the painting eliminating the margin is
= 30 - (2+ 2)
= 26 cm
Now
Area of the painting eliminating the margin is
= (40 × 26) cm²
= 1,040 cm²
And, finally the total area of the margin is
= (1,320 - 1,040) cm²
= 280 cm²
