A frame 2 inches wide is placed around a rectangular picture with dimensions 8 inches by 12 inches. What is the area of the frame, in square inches?
A.44
B.96
C.128
D.144
E.168
The answer in the textbook is B by subtracting 12*16 = 12*8 or 192-96 which equals 96. But is there an alternative way to do this?
