To find the area of the triangular flag, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \]

Given:

  • Height = 15 inches
  • Base = 10 inches

Now, we can substitute these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 , \text{inches} \times 15 , \text{inches} \]

Calculating this:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 150 , \text{inches}^2 \]

\[ \text{Area} = 75 , \text{inches}^2 \]

Therefore, the area of the triangular flag is 75 square inches.

If you are referring to a scale drawing of this triangle, we would need the scale ratio to calculate the area from the scaled dimensions. However, this calculation gives you the actual area of the triangle based on the given heights and base dimensions.
