A rectangular poster has a length of 72 centimeters and a width of 15 centimeters. The poster is reduced bun7 centimeters in length and 3 centimeters in width. What is the area of the new poster?

Answer 1

To find the area of the new poster, we first need to calculate the dimensions of the new poster after the reduction.

After the reduction, the new length of the poster is 72 - 7 = 65 centimeters.
The new width of the poster is 15 - 3 = 12 centimeters.

Now we can calculate the area of the new poster by multiplying the new length by the new width:

Area = 65 cm * 12 cm
Area = 780 square centimeters

Therefore, the area of the new poster is 780 square centimeters.
