1.  The question MUST ask about the AREA of the frame.


2.  Since the condition DOES NOT describe the EXACT form of the triangle,

    the EXACT answer is not required.


    The estimation is enough.


3.  To get the estimation for the frame area, multiply the perimeter of the given triangle by 1 meter.
