Question

If we decrease a dimension on a figure, how is the figure’s area affected?

The area decreases.
The area increases.
The area becomes 0.
The area remains the same.

Answer 1

A) area decreases

Explanation:

Example: we have a 2 by 3 rectangle with area of 2*3 = 6. If we cut the first dimension in half, then we have a 1 by 3 rectangle that has area 1*3 = 3. The area has decreased. To keep the area the same, we would have to increase the other dimension some specific amount.

HOPE THIS HELPS

HAVE A GOOD DAY :)
