decreased by 20%, then its area is
decreased by:​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since here the side of an equilateral triangle decreased by 20%, the side's new length is 0.8 times its old length and thus the new area of the equilateral triangle is 0.8^2 = 0.64 times its original area, i.e., 64% of its original area. We see that this is a 36% decrease.
