I NEED HELLP
To find the area of the new poster, we first need to determine the dimensions of the new poster after it has been reduced in size.
The length of the new poster is 72 cm - 6 cm = 66 cm
The width of the new poster is 15 cm - 3 cm = 12 cm
Now, we can calculate the area of the new poster:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 66 cm x 12 cm
Area = 792 square cm
Therefore, the area of the new poster is 792 square centimeters.
