area of square = side² = s²
but when side is halved:- (s/2)² = 1/4 s²
∴ the area of square becomes 1/4
but when side is halved:- (s/2)² = 1/4 s²
∴ the area of square becomes 1/4

it reduces to ¼th of the original area.
let original side be x metres
therefore original area = x² m²
after halving,
side = ½x
therefore area = ½x * ½x = ¼x² m²
thus new area is ¼ * original area
