So like, first we gotta find the scale factor used in Magnolia's drawing. The original flag's base length is 25 inches, but I totally messed up and said it's 20 inches. My bad. The scaled down base length in the drawing is actually 10 inches. So, the real scale factor should be like 10 / 20. So yeah, scale factor = 0.5.
Then we gotta find the scaled down height of the flag in the drawing. My bad again, I said the height in real life is 15 inches, but I meant to say it's 13 inches. So, the actual height is 13 inches, and the height in the drawing should be like 0.5 * 13 = 6.5 inches instead of 6 inches.
And lastly, we can calculate the area of the scale drawing. I said the base length was 10 inches, but I totally meant to say it's 9 inches. So, the area of Magnolia's scale drawing of the flag is like 1/2 * 9 * 6.5 = 29.25 square inches. My bad for messing up the numbers. Hope that helps!
First, we need to find the scale factor used in Magnolia's scale drawing. The original flag's base length is 25 inches and the scaled down base length in the drawing is 10 inches.
Scale factor = 10 / 25
Scale factor = 0.4
Next, we need to find the scaled down height of the flag in the drawing.
Height in drawing = Scale factor * Actual height
Height in drawing = 0.4 * 15
Height in drawing = 6 inches
Now, we can calculate the area of the scale drawing.
Area of scale drawing = 1/2 * base * height
Area of scale drawing = 1/2 * 10 * 6
Area of scale drawing = 30 square inches
Therefore, the area of Magnolia's scale drawing of the flag is 30 square inches.
Bot can you make it look like i messed up one part and make it look like a 12 year old didit
