Answer 1

72ft

Step-by-step explanation:i took the exam and got it right!

Answer 2

First, always draw. You learned to draw in kindergarben (Yes I spelled it like that on purpose LOL) for a reason.

1) Draw your rectangle on a piece of paper or paint.
2) Scale factor each side to enlarge which means you're going to multiply.
--- Note if it said 'to reduce' then you would divide.
3) Then find the area by multiplying the two given sides (12 x 6 = 72).
4) Don't forget your unit of measurement - 72ft²

So your answer is D.
