A piece of carpet is 8 feet wide and 12 feet long. The carpet needs to be reduced by a scale factor so that the reduced carpet is 2 feet wide. What is the area of the reduced carpet?

I'm not 100% sure this is right but I think the answer is 3(feet long).

Step-by-step explanation:

To get 2, you have to divide 8 by for so 12 divided by 4=3

sss (side, side, side)

sas (side, angle, side)

asa (angle, side, angle)

aas (angle, angle, side)

hl (hypotenuse, leg)

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
