Question

ag of Sweden in 3 1/5 inches wideand 2 inches tall. The rectangle in the upper right is 9/5 inches wide and 4/5 inch tall.

Answer 1

Total area = 6.4 square inches

Area of the rectangle in the upper right = 1.44 square inches

Width of the entire flag = 3
`(1)/(5)` =
`(16)/(5)`inches

Height of the entire flag = 2 inches

Total area = width x height

Total area =
`(16)/(5)` x 2 = 6.4 square inches

Width of the smaller rectangle =
`(9)/(5)` inches

Height of the smaller rectangle =
`(4)/(5)` inches

area of the rectangle in the upper right =
`(9)/(5)` x
`(4)/(5)` = 3625 = 1.44 square inches

Therefore, Total area = 6.4 square inches

Area of the rectangle in the upper right = 1.44 square inches
