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

Question:

This flag of Sweden is 3 1/5 inches wide and 2 inches tall. The rectangle in the upper right is 9/5 inches wide and 4/5 inch tall. a. What is the area of the whole flag? b. What is the area of the rectangle in the upper right?
