To find the area of the scaled model, we first need to calculate the area of the actual triangular skin.
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area = (base * height) / 2
Given that the base of the actual triangle is 1 foot and the height is 2 feet, the area of the actual triangle is:
Area = (1 * 2) / 2 = 1 square foot
Since the model is at a 1/25 scale, we need to scale down the area by dividing by 25:
Scaled Area = 1 / 25 = 0.04 square feet
Therefore, the area of the scale model is 0.04 square feet.
George makes a 1/25 scale drive of a triangular skin the triangle and his driver is 2 ft high with a base of one foot what is the area of the scale black square foot
