    New_area = 72 in^2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Original poster

    Length = 24 inches

    Width = 12 inches

    Original_area = Length * Width

    Original_area = (24 in) * (12 in) = 288 in^2

    If we apply a scale factor of 1/2, this means that every side gets reduced by half.

    This means, that the area gest reduced by a factor of 4

    New_area = Original_area / 4

    New_area = 288 in^2/4

    New_area = 72 in^2
