Activity:

Go out of the double doors in the Century of Flight Hangar and walk to the flags located around the amphitheater.
Find the percentage of flags with blue.
Hint: Find the number of blue flags and multiple by 2 to get number of blue flags in 100 [there are 50 flags] and convert to a percent.
Select any flag. Position a meter stick next to the flag pole. Using another meter stick measure the length of the shadow of the meter stick. Multiply the length of the shadow of the meter stick by the height of the meter stick to calculate the SHADOW FACTOR. Measure the shadow of the flag pole.
Using the SHADOW FACTOR find the height of the flag pole.
