Answer:
180cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the frame = area of the frame+ painting - area of painting.
Area of a rectangle = Length × Width
Area of the painting = 20cm×16cm
Area of the painting = 320cm²
Area of the paint+ frame = 25cm×20cm
Area of the paint+ frame = 500cm²
Area of the frame = 500cm²-320cm²
Area of the frame = 180cm²
Hence the area of the frame is 180cm²
