Try this!
The original area.
The new area when the base is doubled and the height is halved.
= The area remains the same!
---------------------
The original area.

= The area is doubled when the base is doubled but the height remains the same!
Using 10 for the base, ie, b = 10, we have:
Substitute b = 10.

Now double the base (2*10 = 20) and halve the height (h/2), we get:
Simplify.
The area remains the same!
-----------------
Double the base (2*10 = 20) but leave the height alone.
Simplify.
The area is doubled!
If you want, you can use any number for the height but the results will be the same.
