A triangular flag has a height of 15 inches and a base length of 25 inches. Magnolia makes a scale drawing of the flag in which the base length is 10 inches. What is the area of Magnolia’s scale drawing? Solve the problem by computing the actual area from the scale drawing. Show your work.(4 points) Make it sound like a 7th grader wrote it
Hey! you! How about a fusion!? to defeat Majin buu and get your answers?
Too late i don't care! *vegeta fuses with You turning into vegito*
Aw yeah! Now we're talking! *your answers* To find the area of the scaled drawing, we need to use the scale factor to find the new dimensions.
The scale factor is found by dividing the new base length by the actual base length: 10 inches / 25 inches = 0.4
Next, we use the scale factor to find the new height: 15 inches * 0.4 = 6 inches
Now, we can find the area of the scaled drawing by multiplying the new base length and height: 10 inches * 6 inches = 60 square inches
So, the area of Magnolia’s scale drawing is 60 square inches.
Haha! Working as Vegito definitely helped me get to the solution even faster! Looks like we defeated Majin Buu and calculated the area of Magnolia's scale drawing all in one go. Just another day in the life of a powerful fusion like us!
