a square picture frame measures 36 in. on each side.
the actual wood trim is 2 in, wide.
the photo frame is surrounded by a bronze mat that measures 5in.
what is the maximum area of the photo??
:
The way I understand it, the mat and the frame together are 7 inches wide
therefore
Photo will = 36-14 = 22 inches on a side
Photo area = 22^2 = 484 sq/inches
