Answer 1

• Total area of the Denmark flag:

→(37×28) unit²=1036unit²

• Area of the red colour of the flag:

→[{2×(12×12)}+{2×(21×12)}]

=[{2×144}+{2×252}]

=[288+504]=792unit²

• Percentage of the flag is covered in red color:

→(792/1036)×100=0.7645×100=76.45%

76.45% is the right answer.

Answer 2

76.4%

Explanation:

Total area of flag:

LW = (37)(28) = 1036

Total area of red:

LW = (12 + 21)(12 + 12) = (33)(24) = 792

Percent of red:

792/1036 * 100% = 76.4%
