Answer

$C_{\circ}=89pF$

Work Step by Step

The capacitance before the slab is inserted is $C_{\circ}=\epsilon_{\circ}\frac{A}{d}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $C_{\circ}=8.85\times10^{-12}\frac{0.12}{1.2\times10^{-2}}$ $C_{\circ}=8.85\times10^{-11}$ We round to simplify: $C_{\circ}=8.9\times10^{-11}$ $C_{\circ}=89\times10^{-12}$ $C_{\circ}=89pF$
