To resize the photo, we need to maintain the aspect ratio. Since the original photo measures 6 cm by 4 cm, the length-to-width ratio is 6:4 or 3:2. Therefore, to resize the photo to a length of 15 cm, the width will be 10 cm.
Area of the postcard = length x width = 15 cm x 10 cm = 150 square centimeters.
