To find the area of a rectangular tile using the formula \( A = lw \), where \( l \) is the length and \( w \) is the width:

Given:
- Length \( l = 12 \) inches
- Width \( w = 2 \) inches

Now, plug in the values into the formula:

\[
A = 12 \, \text{inches} \times 2 \, \text{inches}
\]
\[
A = 24 \, \text{inches}^2
\]

So the area of the tile is \( 24 \, \text{inches}^2 \).

The correct answer is **24 Inches squared**.
