What happens to the area of the parallelogram if the base is increased 2 times and the height is halved?

• Decreases to half

• Remains the same

• Increase by two times

• None

Remains the same

Explanation;

Hint:

Area = b × h sq.units

New base = 2 × old base

New height = `1/2` × old height

New Area = New base × New height

= `(2 xx "b")1/2 xx "h"`

= bh

= old Area
