Basically, we are to find the area of the television screen. Because a TV is rectangular in form, the formula for the area is written below:

A = L*W

The given dimensions are 64 inches in length and 52 inches in width. But that includes the edges. To compute for the screen area only, we subtract 4 inches (2 inches on both sides) to each dimension.

A = (64 - 2) (52 - 2)

A = 3,100 square inches
