A rectangular poster has a length of 72 centimeters and a width of 15 centimeters. The poster is reduced in size by 6 centimeters in length and 3 centimeters in width. What is the area of the new poster?(1 point)

Question

___square centimeters

Answer 1

The original area of the poster is:
72 cm (length) * 15 cm (width) = 1080 square cm

The new length after reduction is 72 cm - 6 cm = 66 cm
The new width after reduction is 15 cm - 3 cm = 12 cm

The new area of the poster is:
66 cm (length) * 12 cm (width) = 792 square cm

Therefore, the area of the new poster is 792 square centimeters.
