To find the area of the sail, we need to use the scale factor provided (125) to find the actual height and base of the triangle.
The actual height of the triangle is 2 feet * 125 = 250 feet.
The actual base of the triangle is 1 foot * 125 = 125 feet.
Now, we can calculate the area of the triangle using the formula:
Area = (base * height) / 2 = (125 feet * 250 feet) / 2 = 31,250 square feet.
Therefore, the area of the sail is 31,250 square feet.
