Answer:
A = 2.5h² +21h +36
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the framed painting is the product of its height and width.
__
The height of the framed painting is the sum of the painting height and two frame widths: H = h +6.
The width of the framed painting is the sum of the painting width and two frame widths: W = 2.5h +6
The area of the framed painting is the product of these dimensions:
A = HW
A = (h +6)(2.5h +6)
A = 2.5h² +21h +36 . . . . square inches
