A rectangular poster has a length of 72 centimeters and a width of 15 centimeters. Poster is reduced in size by 6 centimeters in length and 3 centimeters in width. What is the area of the new poster

Answer 1

The original area of the poster is:
Length x Width = 72 cm x 15 cm = 1080 cm²

After reducing the size, the new dimensions are:
Length = 72 cm - 6 cm = 66 cm
Width = 15 cm - 3 cm = 12 cm

The new area of the poster is:
New Length x New Width = 66 cm x 12 cm = 792 cm²

Therefore, the area of the new poster is 792 cm².
