A rectangle has an area of 384 m². The length and the width of the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 0.75.

What is the area of the new rectangle?

We are tasked to solve for the area of the new rectangle. The formula of solving area of the rectangle is A = width * length

Old triangle Area = 384 m² = w * l
New triangle Area we have:
Area = w * 0.75l
384 m² = w*0.75l
384 / 0.75 = w*l
288 m² = w*l

The answer is 288 m².

Answer:  [tex]216\ m^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has an area of 384 m².

Let l and w are the length and the width of the original rectangle, such that the area of the rectangle is given by ;-

[tex]A=lw=384[/tex]

The length and the width of the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 0.75 will be:

[tex]l'=0.75l\\\\w'=0.75w[/tex]

Now, the area of the new rectangle will be :

[tex]A=l'w'=0.75l\times0.75w\\\\=(0.75)^2(lw)\\\\=(0.5625)(384)=216\ m^2[/tex]

Hence, the area of the new rectangle[tex]=216\ m^2[/tex]
