George makes a 1/25 scal 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?
Since George's drawing is at a scale of 1/25, we can calculate the actual size of the sail by multiplying the dimensions by 25.
Actual height of the sail = 2 feet * 25 = 50 feet
Actual base of the sail = 1 foot * 25 = 25 feet
Now, we can calculate the area of the triangular 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 area of the sail is 625 square feet.
