The margin on both edges takes away 2(2cm) = 4 cm from length and breadth,
so the length and breadth of the part you write in is
15cm - 4cm = 11cm and
12cm - 4cm = 8cm .
Then, the area of the portion on which you wrote is

Since the total area of the page is
, the area of portion on which you have not written is
.

Then area of the portion on which you wrote is
square centimeters, and
the area of portion on which you have not written is
square centimeters.
