The dimensions of the original sheet of paper are 8 inches by 6 inches.

The total area of the sheet of paper = 8 inches 6 inches  = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the two parts of the sheet of paper are 6 inches by 5 inches and 3 inches by   6 inches.

ii) therefore we see that the both parts have a 6 inch side.

iii) therefore we can say that the width of the sheet of paper is = 6 inches

iv) therefore we can also say that the length of the sheet of paper =  3  +  5 inches  = 8 inches.

v) therefore the dimensions of the original sheet of paper are 8 inches by 6 inches.

vi) therefore the total area of the sheet of paper = 8 inches 6 inches

                                                                          = 48
