A triangular flag has a height of 15 inches and a base length of 25 inches. Magnolia makes a scale drawing of the flag in which the base length is 10 inches. What is the area of Magnolia’s scale drawing? Solve the problem by computing the actual area from the scale drawing. Show your work.(4 points) three really short sentences
To find the scale factor, divide the new base length by the original base length: 10/25 = 0.4. Square this scale factor to find the area scale factor: 0.4^2 = 0.16. Multiply the actual triangle's area by the area scale factor to find Magnolia's scale drawing area: 15 * 25 * 0.16 = 60 inches squared.
