Answer:
Area of picture frame is \(\frac{25}{16}\) feet²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Karyn purchased a square picture frame. Each side measures\(1\frac{1}{4}\) feet.
We have to find the area of the picture frame in square feet.
Since, the picture frame is in shape of square.
So, Area of square = side × side
For the given frame each side measures \(1\frac{1}{4}\) feet.
Simplify, \(1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}\)
So, Area of picture frame = \(\frac{5}{4}\times\frac{5}{4}\)
Simplify, we have,
Area of picture frame = \(\frac{25}{16}\)
Thus, Area of picture frame is \(\frac{25}{16}\) feet²
