6/2 by 8/2

Answer 4

So 3 * 4 basically

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Which = 12

Answer 7

yes, but the prob just wants the linear dimension, not the area

Answer 8

Oh...

Answer 9

So then A?

Answer 10

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*6~ inches~~by~~\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*8~inches\]

Answer 11

so then it would be... a? i dont know..

Answer 12

If you want to go that extra step, the area will be 1/4th of the original , if you scale the side lengths down by 1/2

Answer 13

So then 1/4 of 6 and 1/4 of 8 is the answer?

Answer 14

scaling down by a factor of 1/2 , just divide the side lengths by 2

Answer 15

3 by 4

Answer 16

Wait a sec. 3 by 4 is the answer or do i have to do something to it?

Answer 17

D!

Answer 18
