The new area is 25. The original squares sides would be 10cm long because 10 squares is 100. Half of 10 is 5, so if the new sides are 5 then it would be 25, because 5 squared is 25.

the answer is 25 because to get area you multiply hight and length (the side and bottom) so a area of 100 would have side lengths of 10 therefor you half 10 to get 5 and then do 5 times 5
