Answer:

incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

we are finding area which is squared, or we can put it in an equation, (0.5*20)*(0.25*20) or 0.5*0.25*20^2 which equals 50      but (0.5*0.25)*20 only equals 2.5    therefor he is incorrect and the correct answer would be 20^2 or 400 times the area.

hope this helps :)
