The width is given as:
<h3>Blue region </h3>
The blue region of the American flag has a dimension of 8 by 11 stars.
So, we have:
Where x represents the length of the blue region.
Express the ratio as fractions
Multiply both sides by 2/5
Rewrite as:
The area is then calculated as:
Simplify
Hence, the area of the blue rectangle is 8/11 of the flag
