The proportion of the height to the length of the American flag is 2:3. This means that for every 2 units of height, the flag has 3 units of length. This ratio is standardized for the official flag dimensions used by the U.S. government.

If two rectangular flags are similar in shape and their areas are 5m square and 0.8m square respectively and the height of the larger flag is 180cm what is the height of the smaller flag?

Sure, honey, let's break it down. Since the flags are similar, their corresponding sides are in proportion. The ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of their heights. So, if the larger flag's height is 180cm, the smaller flag's height would be 120cm (180cm * sqrt(0.8/5) = 120cm). Voilà!

What are the Rules for flying an American flag with another flag from two poles?

It all depends on which flag it is flying along side:For flying with flag other than a different nation's flag:"If the flagpoles are the same height, the American flag should be placed in a position of honor, which is the extreme left, as the flags are most frequently viewed. If there are multiple flagpoles with the center flagpole in taller height, the American flag would fly on the taller, more prominent flagpole.When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the American flag should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the flag's right."For flying with the flags of other nations:"When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate flagpoles at the same height. The flags should be approximately equal in size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.The American flag should never been on the same halyard as another nations flag. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the American flag should be hoisted first and lowered last."Taken from:http://www.americanflagsforsale.com/american-flag-etiquette.aspx-Matt
