George makes a 1/25 scale drawing on a triangular cell. The triangle in the drawing is 2 feet high with a base of 1 foot. What is the area of the sale?

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the actual area of the triangle.

The formula for the area of a triangle is (base x height) / 2.

In this case, the base is 1 foot and the height is 2 feet.

Therefore, the actual area of the triangle is (1 x 2) / 2 = 1 square foot.

Since the drawing is at a 1/25 scale, we need to calculate the area of the scaled drawing.

(1/25)^2 = 1/625

So, the scaled area of the triangle in the drawing is 1/625 square foot.
