Answer 4

*be smaller

Answer 5

I don't think that's the answer they are looking for though, but thanks

Answer 6

Let A be the area of the original rectangle


So A = LW where L and W are the length and width


If the length and width are 1/4 of their original size, then L becomes L/4 and W becomes W/4

So the new area is (L/4)*(W/4) = (LW)/(4*4) = LW/16 = A/16


So the new area is one-sixteenth of the original area.
