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)
The area of the original rectangular poster is:
72 cm × 15 cm = 1080 cm²
After the reduction in size, the length becomes 6 cm less and the width becomes 3 cm less, so the new dimensions are:
(72 cm - 6 cm) × (15 cm - 3 cm) = 66 cm × 12 cm
The area of the new rectangular poster is:
66 cm × 12 cm = 792 cm²
Therefore, the area of the new poster is 792 square centimeters.
