Answer:

Area decreases by 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula for the area of the triangle

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{Base}\cdot \text{Height}

<u>Initial triangle:</u>

The base is 18 cm

The height is 5 cm

The area is

A_{initial}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 18\cdot 5=45\ cm^2

<u>New triangle:</u>

The base is (1-0.3)\cdot 18=0.7\cdot 18=12.6\ cm

The height is (1+0.2)\cdot 5=1.2\cdot 5=6\ cm

The area is

A_{new}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 12.6\cdot 6=37.8\ cm^2

Area decreases by

100\%-\dfrac{37.8}{45}\cdot 100\%=100\%-84\%=16\%
