Question

The rectangle below has been reduced by a scale of StartFraction 1 over 10 EndFraction. A rectangle has a length of 15 and width of 12. [Not drawn to scale] What is the area of the reduced rectangle? 0.18 square units 1.8 square units 18 square units 180 square units

Answer 1

B) 1.8 units²

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

Answer 2

Given:

The rectangle has been reduced by a scale of
`(1)/(10)`

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,

`A=length * width`

`A=1.5 * 1.2`

`A=1.8`

Thus, the area of the reduced rectangle is 1.8 square units.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
