Given:
The rectangle has been reduced by a scale of [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
The length of the rectangle is 15 units.
The width of the rectangle is 12 units.
We need to determine the area of the reduced rectangle.
Area of the reduced rectangle:
Let us determine the area of the reduced rectangle.
The area of the reduced rectangle can be determined using the formula,
[tex]A=length \times width[/tex]
[tex]A=1.5 \times 1.2[/tex]
[tex]A=1.8[/tex]
Thus, the area of the reduced rectangle is 1.8 square units.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
Answer:
B) 1.8 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensions of the reduced rectangle:
Length = 15 × 1/10 = 1.5
Width = 12 × 1/10 = 1.2
Area = 1.5 × 1.2
1.8 units²
