A rectangular poster has a length of 72 centimeters and a width of 15 centimeters. The poster is reduced 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 x 15 cm = 1080 cm²

After reducing the length and width, the new dimensions of the poster are:

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

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