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)
square feet
In the scale drawing, the triangle's height is 2/25 feet and the base is 1/25 feet.
To find the area of the triangle, we use the formula: A = 1/2 * base * height.
Substitute in the values for base and height:
A = 1/2 * 1/25 * 2/25
A = 1/2 * 2/625
A = 1/625 square feet
Therefore, the area of the sail in the scale drawing is 1/625 square feet.
