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.
Its 625 not 6.25 your welcome! 100%
