Suppose the base and height are each multiplied by 1/2 .what effect would this have on the area ? h= 10 ft b= 14 ft

The area of the resulting figure is times smaller than the area of the original figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

I assume that the figure is a rectangle or a triangle

Let

z------> the scale factor

x-----> the area of the resulting figure

y----> the area of the original figure

so

we have

substitute

therefore

The area of the resulting figure is   times smaller than the area of the original figure

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.

40 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

add the time and multiply by 2
