We know that the area of a triangle is given by the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Given that the area of the original triangle is 132 square units, we can write:
132 = 1/2 * base * height
Now, if the base is half as long and the height is three times as long, the new area can be calculated as:
New Area = 1/2 * (1/2 * base) * 3 * height
= 1/2 * 1/2 * 3 * base * height
= 3/4 * 132
= 99 square units
Therefore, the new area of the triangle would be 99 square units.
