Area is defined as length times width.
In the case of an index card:
length: 5
width: 3
Using the identity axb=bxa it doesn't matter which way you define length or width.
5x3=15.
That being said:
The average removed foreskin is 15 sq. inches. Of course, this is just a visual. Don't get technical with the representation. We could always, if you wanted to represent the index card analogy properly, as the accuracy of the length and width of the restored foreskin approaches its exact measurements the skin generated by the area is exactly 15 square inches.
