Question

*
1170 square centimeters
1080 square centimeters
1400 square centimeters
10 square centimeters

Answer 1

The area of the original poster is 70 cm * 20 cm = 1400 square centimeters.

After reducing the length by 5 cm and the width by 2 cm, the new dimensions are 65 cm in length and 18 cm in width.

Therefore, the area of the new poster is 65 cm * 18 cm = 1170 square centimeters.

So, the correct answer is:
1170 square centimeters
