To calculate the area of the triangular sail, we need to find the area of the black square first.
Since the triangular sail has a base of 1 ft and is drawn 1/25 scale, the actual base of the triangular sail would be 25 times the drawn base, which is 1 ft x 25 = 25 ft.
The height of the triangular sail is 2 ft, and since it is scaled down by 1/25, the actual height of the triangular sail would be 2 ft x 25 = 50 ft.
The area of the black square would be the base multiplied by the height, so Area = 25 ft x 50 ft = 1250 square feet.
Therefore, the area of the black square is 1250 square feet.
George makes a 1/25 s c a l e drive of a triangular s a i l the triangle and his drawing is 2 ft high with a base of 1 ft what is the area of the Saif black s q u a r e v feet
