A triangular sail has a height of 50 feet and a base of 25 feet. George makes a scale drawing of the sail in which the height is 5 feet. What is the area of the scale drawing? Write your answer in decimal form.(1 point)

Answer 1

The scale factor is 5/50 = 1/10.

To find the area of the scale drawing, we need to square the scale factor and then multiply it by the area of the original triangle:

(1/10)^2 x (1/2) x 25 x 50 = 6.25

Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 6.25 square feet.

Answer 2

Its 625 not 6.25 your welcome! 100%
