    Hello!

    Let's multiply the length by the width first, so that we know how big the frame is. Then we can compare it to the other frame dimensions:

    A = l * w

    A = 30 * 24

    A = 720

    Now we know how big the frame is: 720 in²

    Let's create frames using the dimensions from options A, B, C, and D. The frame has to be smaller in size, meaning it has to have an area less than 720 in²:

    Option A:

    A = l * w

    A = 20 * 25

    A = 500 in²

    Option B:

    A = l * w

    A = 15 * 8

    A = 120 in²

    Option C:

    A = l * w

    A = 24 * 18

    A = 432 in²

    Option D:

    A = l * w

    A = 15 * 12

    A = 180 in²
