The American flag has a width of 15 feet and a length of 5 feet less than twice the width. Determine the amount of square feet of fabric required to make an American flag?

To determine the amount of square feet of fabric required to make an American flag, we can use the formula for finding the area of a rectangle, which is length multiplied by width.

Given that the width of the American flag is 15 feet, we can use this value directly.

Now, let's find the length of the flag. The problem states that the length is 5 feet less than twice the width. So, we can start by calculating twice the width:

Twice the width = 2 * 15 = 30 feet

Next, we subtract 5 feet from twice the width to find the length of the flag:

Length = 30 - 5 = 25 feet

Now that we have both the width and length of the flag, we can calculate the area by multiplying them together:

Area of the flag = Width * Length = 15 * 25 = 375 square feet

Therefore, the American flag will require 375 square feet of fabric to make.
