The area of the original photo is 6 cm x 4 cm = 24 square cm.

To resize the photo to the length of 15 cm while maintaining the same ratio, we need to calculate the width of the resized photo.

4 cm * (15 cm / 6 cm) = 4 cm * 2.5 = 10 cm

So the new dimensions of the photo will be 15 cm x 10 cm, and the area will be:

15 cm x 10 cm = 150 square cm

Therefore, the area of the postcard will be 150 square centimeters.

Answer: 150 square centimeters
