Description
English: Flag of Puerto Rico (construction sheet)
Date
Source
English: Own work. Dimensions based on the most commonly used and widely accepted shape of the flag since its formal adoption by the government of Puerto Rico in 1952.
The law of Puerto Rico does not provide dimensions on the size of the flag’s rectangular shape, horizontal stripes, and upright five-pointed star. While the exact proportions of the flag have not been established by law, the most commonly used and accepted layout of the flag is as follows:

At a length-to-width ratio of 2:3, the shape of the flag is rectangular, one and a half times longer than wide, composed of five alternating horizontal stripes, three red and two white, each one being one-fifth of the flag width, and an equilateral blue triangle on the hoist side vertically covering the entire width of the flag and bearing a white, upright, centered five-pointed star of which diameter is at least one-third and at most half of the flag width.

Most representations of the flag follow these specifications, with the only component likely to vary being the star, which is not unusual to be displayed bigger than the most commonly used sizes of one-third (1⁄3) and two-fifths (2⁄5) of the flag width.
This construction sheet includes the various dimensions of its star with a diameter of one-third (1⁄3), two-fifths (2⁄5), nine-twentieths (9⁄20), and one-half (1⁄2), all relative to the width (hoist) of the flag. It also includes one irrational dimension that has been derived (calculated) from the given dimension:
  • A equals the distance from the hoist of the flag to the center of the star within the equilateral triangle. Mathematically, the star is located at the centroid, incenter, circumcenter, and orthocenter of the blue equilateral triangle, which is calculated to be 8.660254037844386 units from the hoist of the flag.
The construction sheets of the flag with its various star dimensions can be found here.
Español: Dimensiones basadas en la forma más comúnmente utilizada y ampliamente aceptada de la bandera desde su adopción formal por el gobierno de Puerto Rico en 1952.
La ley de Puerto Rico no proporciona dimensiones sobre el tamaño de la forma rectangular, las rayas horizontales y la estrella vertical de cinco puntas de la bandera. Si bien las proporciones exactas de la bandera no han sido establecidas por la ley, el diseño más utilizado y aceptado de la bandera es el siguiente:

Con una relación de longitud a anchura de 2:3, la forma de la bandera es rectangular, una vez y media más larga que la ancha, compuesta por cinco rayas horizontales alternas, tres rojas y dos blancas, cada una de las cuales es un quinto del ancho de la bandera, y un triángulo azul equilátero en el extremo del asta que cubre verticalmente todo el ancho de la bandera y lleva una estrella blanca, vertical y centrada de cinco puntas cuyo diámetro es de al menos un tercio y como máximo la mitad del ancho de la bandera.

La mayoría de las representaciones de la bandera siguen estas especificaciones, siendo la estrella el único componente varíe. Esta se muestra ocasionalmente más grande que los tamaños más comúnmente utilizados de un tercero (1⁄3) y dos quintos (2⁄5) del ancho de la bandera.
Esta hoja de construcción incluye las diversas dimensiones de su estrella con un diámetro de un tercio (1⁄3), dos quintos (2⁄5), nueve veinteésimos (9⁄20), una mitad (1⁄2), todos en relación con el ancho de la bandera. También incluye una dimensión irracional que se ha derivado (calculado) de la dimensión dada:
  • A es igual a la distancia desde el extremo del asta de la bandera hasta el centro de la estrella dentro del triángulo equilátero azul. Matemáticamente, la estrella se encuentra en el centroide, incentro, circuncentro y ortocentro del triángulo equilátero, que se calcula esta 8.660254037844386 unidades desde el extremo del asta de la bandera.
Las hojas de construcción de la bandera con sus diversas dimensiones de estrella se pueden encontrar aquí.
