A rectangular rug is 12.5 feet long and 10 feet wide. The rug needs to be reduced by a factor of es026-1.jpg to be placed near a door. What is the area of the reduced rug in square feet?
It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them.
I have no idea what "es026-1.jpg" means.
well, whatever the factor, if it is x, then the area is reduced by a factor of x^2.
xL * xW = x^2(LW)

I saw the question on my quiz. The scale factor is 1/5
To find the area of the reduced rug, we first need to calculate the reduction factor. The reduction factor is es026-1.jpg, which means the length and width of the rug will be multiplied by that factor.
To find the reduced length, we multiply the original length of the rug (12.5 feet) by the reduction factor (es026-1.jpg):
Reduced length = 12.5 feet x es026-1.jpg
To find the reduced width, we multiply the original width of the rug (10 feet) by the reduction factor (es026-1.jpg):
Reduced width = 10 feet x es026-1.jpg
Now that we have the reduced length and width, we can calculate the area of the reduced rug by multiplying the reduced length by the reduced width:
Area of the reduced rug = Reduced length x Reduced width
