The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width.
In this case, the length (or base) is 4.5 feet and the width (or height) is 2.5 feet.
Therefore, the area of the flag is 4.5 feet multiplied by 2.5 feet, which is equal to 11.25 feet squared.
So, the correct answer is: 11.25 feet squared.
