the base and the height of a parallelogram are 18cm and 8cm.If both the base and height of the parallelogram are decreased by 50%, what is the area of the parallelogram?
If the base is decreased by 50%, it becomes 9. We get this by simply multiply 18 0.5 If the height is decreased by 50%, it becomes 4. Again, we just do 8 0.5 The area of a parallelogram is base height. 9 4 = 36
