Answer:

The area would reduce to 1/4 the original area

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle = (1/2)(base)(height) or bh/2

If the triangle base and height were to reduce by one-half, the formula would change to:

Area = (1/2)(1/2 base)(1/2 height) or bh/8. Which is a reduction by 1/4
