Solution

- The solution steps are given below:


\begin{gathered} \text{ The formula for solving the qeustion is given below:} \\ (l_1^2)/(l_2^2)=(A_1)/(A_2) \\ \\ \text{ Let } \\ l_1=3 \\ l_2=6,A_2=24,A_1=? \\ \\ (3^2)/(6^2)=(A_1)/(24) \\ \\ \text{ Make }A_1\text{ the subject of the formula} \\ \\ A_1=(3^2*24)/(6^2) \\ \\ A_1=6 \end{gathered}

Answer

The area of the smaller figure is 6inĀ²
