To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the dimensions of the poster are:
- Length: 7 inches
- Width: 6 inches
Now, calculating the area:
\[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 7 , \text{inches} \times 6 , \text{inches} \]
\[ \text{Area} = 42 , \text{square inches} \]
So, the area of the completed poster is 42 square inches.
