To find the area of the completed flag, we need to find the scale factor by comparing the lengths in the scale drawing and the actual picture.
In the scale drawing, the base of the flag is 3 inches and the height is 4 inches. In the actual picture, the base is 6 feet and the height is 8 feet.
The scale factor is 6/3 = 2.
To find the area of the completed flag, we square the scale factor and multiply it by the area of the scale drawing:
(2^2) * (3*4) = 4 * 12 = 48 square feet.
Therefore, the area of the completed flag will be 48 square feet.
So, none of the provided options are correct.
