Question

- What is the area of the giant Americanflag shown? All stripes are thesame height39 ft52 ft14 ft

Answer 1

We have:

Area of the American flag is:

$A=\text{length}\times width$

Therefore, the length is

$\text{length}=39+52=91$

This is, the length = 91 ft.

For the width, we have 13 stripes on the flag:

$4\times13=52$

The width = 52 ft

Next, the area of the giant American flag:

$A=91\times52=4732$

Answer: 4732 ft^2
