Answer:21 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A flag pole and its shadow form the sides of a right triangle

Hypotenuse=35 m

Shadow length=28 m

As the Triangle is right angle therefore we can apply Pythagoras theorem.

Let pole length be x

[tex]x^2+(28)^2 =(35)^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2=1225-784=441 m[/tex]

[tex]x=\sqrt{441}=21 m[/tex]
