1 answer

The area of the original poster is: 72 cm * 15 cm = 1080 square cm

After reducing the size by 6 cm in length and 3 cm in width, the new dimensions are 72 cm - 6 cm = 66 cm in length and 15 cm - 3 cm = 12 cm in width.

The area of the new poster is: 66 cm * 12 cm = 792 square cm

So, the area of the new poster is 792 square centimeters.
