The way your Q is phrased, without whole sentenses and more like a stenography style, is a little bit confusing (at least for me). So if I interpret things correctly here you are searching after the fastest way to define a half page sized rectangle (?).

Personally and if things should be exact here, I would make use of the transform panel for a rectangle and use accordingly expressions for field input. So things like ...

x = 0
y = 0
w = page width
h = page height /2  ... or ... page height * 0.5 ... or ... 50%

It sounds unclear what you are asking for or want to achieve. … Possibly you have Document Variables in mind?

I might suggest enabling Snapping, and then drawing a rectangle that is the width of the page, and for the height you'll get a green Dynamic Guide and snapping at the midpoint of the page.
