It would be 1/4 of the original area, as you have just multiplied by 1/2 twice. 1/2 times 1/2 equals 1/4.

Answer:

Simple answer: it will become 1/4 the size that it was.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base = b

Let the height = h

Area = 1/2 b*h

Now half both of them.

Area = 1/2 (1/2 b)(1/2 * h)

Area = 1/2 (1/4)*b*h

That quarter should convince you that the area is now 1/4 what it was before the base and height were cut in half.
