It would be 1/4 of the original area, as you have just multiplied by 1/2 twice. 1/2 times 1/2 equals 1/4.

Answer:

Simple answer: it will become 1/4 the size that it was.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base = b

Let the height = h

Area = 1/2 b*h

Now half both of them.

Area = 1/2 (1/2 b)(1/2 * h)

Area = 1/2 (1/4)*b*h

That quarter should convince you that the area is now 1/4 what it was before the base and height were cut in half.

A certain organization recommends the use of passwords with the following format: vowel commavowel, consonant comma consonant c

zimovet [89]

The password format is = inpray93

vowel , consonant, consonant, consonant, vowel, consonant, number, number.

There are 21 consonants, 5 vowels and 10 number choices (0-9)

Since, there are 21 consonants and repetition is allowed so for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th positions 21 choices are available. For 1st and 5th positions, 5 choices are available and for 7th and 8th position there are 10 choices (0 to 9).

Passwords are not case sensitive which means upper case and lower case letters are same.

So, the number of passwords can be =

$5\times21\times21\times21\times5\times21\times10\times10$
