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)
To find the area of the sail in the drawing, we need to first find the actual dimensions of the sail.
Since George's drawing is 1/25 scale, we need to multiply the dimensions of the triangle in the drawing by 25 to find the actual dimensions.
Height of the actual triangle = 2 feet x 25 = 50 feet
Base of the actual triangle = 1 foot x 25 = 25 feet
Now we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Area = 1/2 x 25 x 50
Area = 625 square feet
Therefore, the area of the sail is 625 square feet.
