One standard size for the United States flag is 19 feet by 10 feet. On a flag of this size, the union (the blue rectangle in the top-left corner) is 7 5 8 feet by 5 3 8 feet. Astronauts on the Apollo missions had a flag on a shoulder patch, use the scale factor 1/60 and find the union dimensions for the patch

0.127 feet by 0.090 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The USA's flag dimension = 19feet by 10feet

Union's (blue rectangle in the top left corner) dimension = 7 5/8 feet by 5 3/8 feet.

Union dimension for the shoulder patch of the USA flag used by astronauts for the Apollo mission has a scale factor of 1/60

Therefore, dimension of the union patch ;

1/60 * ( 7 5/8 feet by 5 3/8 feet)

1/60 * (61 / 8 feet by 43/8 feet)

61/480 feet by 43/480 feet

0.127 feet by 0.0895 feet

0.127 feet by 0.090 feet
