Question

if the side of a square is halved then the area becomes part of the original area​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\sf{\dfrac{1}{4}\:times}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides of original square be "2a" units

To find the area, We know that area of square is equal to square of side.

Therefore, it's area $={2a}^{2}=4{a}^{2}$ sq. units.

Now, the sides are halved.

Therefore, new side = a units

Therefore, new area = ${a}^{2}$ sq. units.

Clearly, the new area is ¼th of the original area.
