The longer an object, the longer the shadow they cast at a given time of the day and vice versa. This is called direct proportionality. At the same time,

If 15 foot flagpole ---- casts 11 foot shandow
    28 foot tree -------- casts ?? foot shadow

The proportion would therefore be:

Length of shadow cast by tree = (28/15)*11 = 20.533 foot.
