A rectangle has an area of 24 square inches. The rectangle is reduced by a scale factor of 1/2 . What is the area of the new rectangle?

12

Step-by-step explanation:

24 divided by 1/2

< coa = 150 ( given)

as ba and bc are tangents

so oc and oa is perpendicular to cb and ab respectively because in circle normal passes through centre

so in quadrilateral oabc

< coa + < oab + < ocb + < abc = 360

150 +90+90 + < abc = 360

330 + < abc = 360

< abc = 360 -330 = 30

so < abc = 30
