A rectangular poster has a length of 72 centimeters and a width of 15 centimeters. The 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:

72 cm (length) * 15 cm (width) = 1080 cm²

After reducing the size by 6 cm in length and 3 cm in width, the new dimensions are:

(72 cm - 6 cm) * (15 cm - 3 cm) = 66 cm * 12 cm = 792 cm²

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