A rectangular poster has a length of 72 cm and a width of 15 cm the poster is reduced in size by 6 cm in length and 3 cm in with D what is the area of the new poster

1 answer

The original area of the poster is:

Area = length * width
Area = 72 cm * 15 cm
Area = 1080 cm^2

After reducing the size of the poster, the new length is 72 cm - 6 cm = 66 cm and the new width is 15 cm - 3 cm = 12 cm.

The area of the new poster is:

Area = new length * new width
Area = 66 cm * 12 cm
Area = 792 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the new poster is 792 cm^2.
