I assume you are asking about the change in area?
area = length * width
replace those by the new values:
area = length*1.20 * width*0.80
= 0.96 * length * width
so area has decreased by 4%
area = length * width
replace those by the new values:
area = length*1.20 * width*0.80
= 0.96 * length * width
so area has decreased by 4%
