To find the area of the poster, we need to find the area of the entire rectangle formed by sides a, b, c, and d.
Area = (a + c) * b
Area = (12 + 15) * 27
Area = 27 * 27
Area = 729 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the poster is 729 cm^2.
one
The options you provided only had the area in square centimeters without any calculation. Based on the calculation provided in my previous response, the correct area of the poster is 729 cm^2.
So, none of the options match the correct answer.
chose one
If I had to choose one of the available options closest to the calculated area of 729 cm^2, then the closest option would be:
474 cm^2
However, please note that this option is not the exact area calculated and is just the closest option provided.
