George makes a 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 point)
The actual dimensions of the sail are 25 times larger than the drawing, so the height is 2 ft x 25 = 50 ft and the base is 1 ft x 25 = 25 ft.
The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 x base x height.
Plugging in the values, we get A = 1/2 x 25 ft x 50 ft = 625 square feet.
Therefore, the area of the sail is 625 square feet.
