We can use Pythagorean's Theorem in order to find the remaining side length
a^2+b^2=c^2
Let a be the shadow length
Let b be the height of the flagpole
Let c be the hypotenuse 
28^2+b^2=35^2
784+b^2=1225
b^2=1225-784
b^2=441
b=√441
b=21
Therefore the flagpole is 21 meters tall.
Hope this helps!

In the right triangle ABC shown, c=17ft and angle A=30 degrees Determine side a
jekas [21]

Using relations in a right triangle, considering c as the hypotenuse, we have that the length of side A is: a = 8.5\sqrt{3}

<h3>What are the relations in a right triangle?</h3>

The relations in a right triangle are given as follows:

  • The sine of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The tangent of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side to the angle.

From the information given, we can build the following relation:

cos(A) = a/c.

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{a}{17}

a = \frac{17\sqrt{3}}{2}

a = 8.5\sqrt{3}
