Solve the following problem that Talina print a photo of a covered bridge the print measures 6 cm x 4 cm she wants to resize the photo into the size of a postcard with a length of 15 cm. What will be the area of the postcard
First, calculate the scale factor by dividing the length of the postcard by the length of the printed photo:
Scale factor = 15 cm / 6 cm = 2.5
Next, multiply the dimensions of the printed photo by the scale factor to find the dimensions of the resized photo:
Width of resized photo = 4 cm * 2.5 = 10 cm
Height of resized photo = 6 cm * 2.5 = 15 cm
Now, calculate the area of the postcard:
Area = width * height
Area = 10 cm * 15 cm
Area = 150 cm²
Therefore, the area of the postcard will be 150 cm².
