Answer:
Area of picture frame is [tex]\frac{25}{16}[/tex] feet²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Karyn purchased a square picture frame. Each side measures[tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] feet.
We have to find the area of the picture frame in square feet.
Since, the picture frame is in shape of square.
So, Area of square = side × side
For the given frame each side measures [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] feet.
Simplify, [tex]1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
So, Area of picture frame = [tex]\frac{5}{4}\times\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
Simplify, we have,
Area of picture frame = [tex]\frac{25}{16}[/tex]
Thus, Area of picture frame is [tex]\frac{25}{16}[/tex] feet²
