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)
The actual dimensions of the triangular sail are 25 times the dimensions in the drawing.
Height = 2 feet * 25 = 50 feet
Base = 1 foot * 25 = 25 feet
The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula A = 0.5 * base * height
Plugging in the values:
A = 0.5 * 25 * 50
A = 625 square feet
Therefore, the area of the sail is 625 square feet.
