Explanation:

Step1: Recall rectangle property

In a rectangle, the diagonals bisect each other. So if \(EA = 12\) inches, and \(A\) is the mid - point of diagonal \(EF\).

Step2: Calculate diagonal length

Let the length of diagonal \(EF\) be \(d\). Then \(d=2\times EA\). Since \(EA = 12\) inches, \(d = 2\times12=24\) inches.
