It is also halved. In general, if you increase any linear measurement of a figure by a certain factor (i.e., stretching the figure so that you obtain a geometrically similar figure), then all linear measurements will increase by the same factor. In this case, all linear measurements of the rectangle are increased by a factor of 0.5 - that includes the length of any side, the perimeter, the half-perimeter, the diagonal, the sum of the diagonals, the length of half the shorter side, or any other linear measurement you can think of.

What would happen to the perimeter if the side lengths of a rectangle are halved?

The perimeter of a rectangle is just the sum of the lengths of its sides, so taking half of each of the sides would make the total half of its original value also.


What happens to the area of a rectangle if the length decreases by one-half?

The area is directly proportional to both the length andwidth of a rectangle. Thus if one is halved then the area is also halved.

What happens to the area of the square when its side is halved?

area = side x side if the side is halved, then new_area = side/2 x side/2 = side x side / 4 = area / 4 The area becomes a quarter of what is was. With similar objects, The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of the lengths The ratio of volumes is the cube of the ratio of the lengths.
