Question

Harry folds his origami paper along the dotted lines shown below so that the triangular flaps overlap exactly on the square.

If the dimensions of the origami paper are decreased by One-half, what will be the new area of the paper?

Answer 1

They kind of make this seem like a complicated problem just by giving you a lot of information, but in the end, it's just a square, and you know the sidelength already. If you know how to find the area of a square, it's simple.

Answer 2

And in case you don't know how:

Area = L*L = L^2
