Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle is given as length times breadth. Mathematically,
A = l * b
If the length is halved and the breadth is constant, then we have
A = l/2 * b
A = lb/2
From the above, the area of a rectangle is lb, while the area of the hypothetical rectangle will be lb/2
This means that, if the length is halved, and the width is constant, then the area of the rectangle reduces by half.
