Natalia prints a photo of a covered bridge. The print measures 6 centimeters by 4 centimeters. She wants to resize the photo into the size of a postcard with a length of 15 centimeters. What will be the AREA of the postcard?(1 point) Responses 60 square centimeters 60 square centimeters 150 square centimeters 150 square centimeters 2.5 square centimeters 2.5 square centimeters 24 square centimeters

1 answer

The proportion of the lengths of the print and the postcard is:

6 cm / 4 cm = 15 cm / x

Solving for x:

x = (15 cm * 4 cm) / 6 cm
x = 10 cm

Therefore, the width of the postcard will be 10 centimeters.

Now, we can calculate the area of the postcard:

Area = length * width
Area = 15 cm * 10 cm
Area = 150 square centimeters

Therefore, the area of the postcard will be 150 square centimeters.
