Rectangular Frame

Rectangular Frame: a composite plane figure made of a rectangle 8 × 5.8 cm, minus a rectangle 5 × 2.8 cm. It is a classic primary school geometry problem (“Frames & Cutouts”). The net area is 32.4 cm² and the total perimeter is 43.2 cm, including 15.6 cm along the inner hole.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = B·H − b·h

Split the figure into basic shapes, find each area, add the joined parts and subtract the cut-outs: A = 46.4 − 14 = 32.4 cm².
