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)
square centimeters
The original area of the poster is calculated by multiplying the length by the width:
72 cm * 15 cm = 1080 square cm
After reducing the size of the poster, the new length is 72 cm - 6 cm = 66 cm and the new width is 15 cm - 3 cm = 12 cm.
The area of the new poster is calculated by multiplying the new length by the new width:
66 cm * 12 cm = 792 square cm
Therefore, the area of the new poster is 792 square centimeters.
