Given length of cardboard including margin = 8 cm

Breadth of the cardboard including margin = 5 cm

Area of the cardboard including the margin = 8 cm x 5 cm = 40 c m2

From the figure, we can observed that,

New length of the painting without margin = 8 cm – (1.5 cm + 1.5 cm)

= (8 – 3) cm

= 5 cm

New breadth of the painting without margin = 5 cm – (1.5 cm + 1.5 cm)

= (5 – 3) cm

= 2 cm

Area of the painting not including the margin = 5 cm x 2 cm = 10 cm2

Hence, Area of the margin = Area of the cardboard including the margin – Area of the painting

= (40 – 10) cm2 

= 30 cm2
