Question

If both base and heigth of triangle are halved, then its area becomes _____ times the original area

Answer 1

Answer:

triangle = Base x height so 1/3 c base will be original area

Answer 2

Answer: It becomes 1/4th of original area.

Step-by-step explanation:  FOR EXAMPLE:

Let the height be 4 cm and base be 6 cm

So Area = 1/2*6*4

              = 12 cm²

If halved Then,

H = 2 cm

B = 6 cm

A = 1/2*3*2

   = 3 cm²

∴Decrease = 12/3

                   = 4
