Use the image to answer the question. A picture framer is painting the front of a picture frame. What is the area of the frame? Assume that all segments that look congruent are congruent and all angles that look like right angles are right angles. (1 point) Responses 864 square units 864 square units 480 square units 480 square units 576 square units 576 square units 288 square units
The area of the frame can be calculated by finding the area of the larger square and subtracting the area of the smaller square.
The length of the larger square is 24 units (from left to right) and 36 units (from top to bottom). So, the area of the larger square is 24 x 36 = 864 square units.
The length of the smaller square is 12 units (from left to right) and 24 units (from top to bottom). So, the area of the smaller square is 12 x 24 = 288 square units.
Therefore, the area of the frame is 864 - 288 = 576 square units.
Hence, the correct answer is: 576 square units.
