Solve the following problem: 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

Answer 1

To find the area of the postcard, we need to first find the width of the resized photo.

Using the ratio of the sides of the original photo, we can find the width of the resized photo:
6cm / 4cm = x / 15cm
x = 15cm * (6cm / 4cm)
x = 22.5cm

Now we can find the area of the postcard by multiplying the length and width:
Area = 15cm * 22.5cm
Area = 337.5 square centimeters

Therefore, the area of the postcard will be 337.5 square centimeters.
