To get the number of feet you have to take the square root of 7410 then divide that answer by 13 to get "h"
I don't think so. Flags are not square.
What does the weight of the flag have to do with the width of the stripes?
It appears critical information is missing. wouldn't we need to know the sq. ft area of the stripes and the length of the stripes? Also, this is an American flag; the sq ft area of the stars is critical but not given.
We need to know the dimensions of the flag.
