Length of rectangular picture frame = 6 cm

Width of rectangular picture frame = 8 cm

Area of rectangular picture frame = 6×8 cm² = 48 cm²

Length, excluding 1/2 cm wide frame of rectangular picture = (6–1/2-1/2) = 5 cm

Width, excluding 1/2 cm wide frame of rectangular picture = (8–1/2-1/2) = 7 cm

Area, excluding 1/2 cm wide frame of rectangular picture = 5×7 cm² = 35 cm²

Area of 1/2 cm wide frame = 48 - 35 = 13 cm²

Therefore, the area of 1/2 cm wide frame = 48 - 35 = 13 cm²
