Our answer is: 50 cm²

We are asked to find one half of a square's area, given that the length of the square is 10 cm.
So first, we find the square's area by using the formula -

Where -
- A = area (unknown)
- a = side length (10 cm)
Substitute the values:
To find one half of the area, divide the area by 2:
one-half of the square's area is 50 cm²
