See below: Let, A = 1 Just in case you wanted to make your own flag and all these numbers look too complicated, Here is something simple: US Letter paper size is 8.5x11. Fold 1/2 inch to get 10.5 inches. Thats your "B" and you can get one flag out of a paper: A = 5.5 inch (this is your height of the flag) Alternatively, fold 1/2 inch on the other side so you get 8 inches on one side. Thats your "B," and you can get two flags out of a paper: A = 4 3/16 inch (this is your height of the flag) |
