George makes 1/25 scale drawing Of a triangular sail. The triangle in his drawing Is 2 feet high with a base Of 1 foot. What is the area of the sail

1 answer

In the scale drawing, the height is 1/25 * 2 = <<1/25*2=0.08>>0.08 feet.
The base is 1/25 * 1 = <<1/25*1=0.04>>0.04 feet.
The area of the sail in the scale drawing is 0.5 * 0.04 * 0.08 = <<0.5*0.04*0.08=0.0016>>0.0016 square feet. Answer: \boxed{0.0016}.
