A triangular flag has the height of 15 in and a base length of 25 in. Magnolia's makes a scale drawing of the flag in which the base length is 10 in what is the area of Magnolia's to scale drawing? Solve the problem by completing the actual area from the scale drawing
To find the area of Magnolia's scale drawing, we first need to find the scale factor by comparing the base lengths of the actual flag and the scale drawing.
Scale factor = 10 in (base length of scale drawing) / 25 in (base length of actual flag) = 2/5
Now, we can find the height of the scale drawing by multiplying the scale factor by the actual height of the flag:
Height of scale drawing = 15 in (actual height) * 2/5 = 6 in
Now, we can find the area of Magnolia's scale drawing by using the base length and height we just found:
Area = 1/2 * base length * height
Area = 1/2 * 10 in * 6 in
Area = 30 square inches
Therefore, the area of Magnolia's scale drawing is 30 square inches.
