The scale factor from the original flag to Magnolia's drawing is 10/25 = 2/5. This means that all lengths in Magnolia's drawing are 2/5 of the corresponding lengths in the original flag.
The height of Magnolia's drawing is (2/5) x 15 inches = 6 inches.
The area of Magnolia's drawing is:
(1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 10 inches x 6 inches = 30 square inches.
Therefore, the area of Magnolia's scale drawing is 30 square inches.
The height of Magnolia's drawing is (2/5) x 15 inches = 6 inches.
