George makes a 1/25 scale drawing of a triangular sail. The triangle in his drawing is 2 feet high with a base of 1 foot. What is the area of the sail?(1 point) square feet
I apologize for the repeated mistakes. Let's try again using the actual dimensions of the sail directly.
Given:
Drawing scale: 1/25
Height of the sail in the drawing: 2 feet
Base of the sail in the drawing: 1 foot
We need to find the actual dimensions of the sail:
Actual Height = 2 feet * 25 = 50 feet
Actual Base = 1 foot * 25 = 25 feet
Now, we can calculate the area of the sail using the formula for the area of a triangle: Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 25 feet * 50 feet
Area = 625 square feet
Therefore, the correct area of the sail is 625 square feet.
The actual dimensions of the sail are:
Height = 1/25 * 2 feet = 0.08 feet
Base = 1/25 * 1 foot = 0.04 feet
The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height
Substitute the values:
Area = 1/2 * 0.04 * 0.08 feet
Area = 0.0024 square feet
Therefore, the area of the sail is 0.0024 square feet.
WRONG
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it.
The actual dimensions of the sail are:
Height = 2 feet
Base = 1 foot
Since the drawing is at a 1/25 scale, we need to divide the dimensions by 25 to get the actual dimensions:
Height = 2 feet / 25 = 0.08 feet
Base = 1 foot / 25 = 0.04 feet
Now we can calculate the area of the sail using the formula for the area of a triangle: Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 0.04 feet * 0.08 feet
Area = 0.00016 square feet
Therefore, the correct area of the sail is 0.00016 square feet.
WRONGG
I apologize for the errors in the previous responses. Let's correct it again.
The actual dimensions of the sail are:
Height = 2 feet
Base = 1 foot
Since the drawing is at a 1/25 scale, we need to divide the dimensions by 25 to get the actual dimensions:
Height = 2 feet / 25 = 0.08 feet
Base = 1 foot / 25 = 0.04 feet
Now we can calculate the area of the sail using the formula for the area of a triangle: Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 0.04 feet * 0.08 feet
Area = 0.0016 square feet
Therefore, the correct area of the sail is 0.0016 square feet.
