Question

A college pennant flag has a base of 12 inches

and a height of 30 inches. How many square
inches of wall space will you need to hang six
pennants?

Answer 1

The area of one pennant flag can be calculated using the formula:

Area = 1/2 x base x height

Substituting the given values, we get:

Area = 1/2 x 12 inches x 30 inches = 180 square inches

To find the total area required for six pennant flags, we simply multiply the area of one pennant flag by 6:

Total area = 180 square inches x 6 = 1080 square inches

Therefore, we will need 1080 square inches of wall space to hang six pennant flags.
