A triangular flag has a height of 15 inches and a base height of 25 inches magnolia makes a scale drawing of the flag in which a base length is 10 inches. What is the area of magnolia scale drawing solve the problem by community commuting the actual area from the scale drawing show your work
To find the area of Magnolia's scale drawing of the flag, we need to determine the scale factor.
Scale factor = Actual base length / Scale base length
Scale factor = 25 inches / 10 inches
Scale factor = 2.5
Now, we can calculate the scale height of the flag:
Scale height = Actual height / Scale factor
Scale height = 15 inches / 2.5
Scale height = 6 inches
Now, we can calculate the area of the scale drawing:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 10 inches * 6 inches
Area = 30 square inches
Therefore, the area of Magnolia's scale drawing of the flag is 30 square inches.
