Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the reduced sides and then the area of the reduced rectangle.

1. Reduced Length: The original length is 15 units. To reduce it by a scale of 1/10, multiply the length by 1/10. Reduced Length = 15 units * (1/10) = 1.5 units

2. Reduced Width: The original width is 12 units. Similarly, multiply the width by 1/10 to find the reduced width. Reduced Width = 12 units * (1/10) = 1.2 units

3. Area of Reduced Rectangle: The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length and width. Area = Reduced Length * Reduced Width = 1.5 units * 1.2 units = 1.8 square units

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

Answer:

Your welcome

Step-by-step explanation:

If a rectangle has a length of 15 and a width of 12, its area is given by the formula:

Area = length × width

Area = 15 × 12 = 180 square units

Now, if the rectangle is reduced by a scale of 1/10, this means that each dimension of the rectangle is multiplied by 1/10. Specifically, the length and width are reduced as follows:

New length = length × (1/10) = 15 × (1/10) = 1.5

New width = width × (1/10) = 12 × (1/10) = 1.2

Therefore, the area of the reduced rectangle is:

Reduced area = new length × new width

Reduced area = 1.5 × 1.2 = 1.8 square units

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

I hope this answer helps you
