Two parallelograms have the same base length. The height of the first is half the height of the second. What is the ratio of the area of the smaller parallelogram to the area of the larger one?

First, what is the formula for calculating the area of a parallelogram?
A = bh
2A = 2(bh) , since the b is the same in both
area of small : area of larger = 1 : 2
