Answer 1

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.
