Answer 1

To determine the area of the postcard that Natalia wants to resize the photo to, we need to calculate the area using the dimensions of the postcard.

The length of the postcard is given as 15 centimeters. The width of a standard postcard is typically about 10 centimeters. However, if we want to specifically calculate the area based only on the length provided (15 cm) and assume the width is 10 cm, we proceed as follows:

Area = Length × Width

Assuming a width of approximately 10 centimeters:
Area = 15 cm × 10 cm = 150 square centimeters.

Therefore, the area of the postcard is **150 square centimeters**.
