In this case the areas would be exactly the same. To prove this, think of a can of stain as 4 inches wide by 6 inches tall/long. If the can of paint is 8 inches wide and 3 inches tall/ long, both areas would be 24 inches squared. By cutting one dimension in half and doubling the other dimension, you do not change the overall area.
Because in the theory of the outcome is a 50/50 chance landing heads or tails. So, the theorectical probability is 1/2. Now the experimental must be 11/20.
