The formulas to calculate the flag size are:
\[ \text{FW} = \frac{\text{PH}}{4} \]
\[ \text{FL} = \frac{\text{PH}}{3} \]
Where:
Flag size refers to the dimensions of a flag, typically measured in width (the shorter side) and length (the longer side). The size of a flag is often determined in relation to the height of the flagpole on which it will be flown. Proper flag sizing ensures that the flag is visible and proportionate to the pole, providing an aesthetically pleasing and respectful display.
Example:
Step 1: Calculate the flag width:
\[ \text{FW} = \frac{20}{4} = 5 \text{ feet} \]
Step 2: Calculate the flag length:
\[ \text{FL} = \frac{20}{3} \approx 6.67 \text{ feet} \]
