Answer:

12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras theorem, a²+b²=c², where c represents the diagonal and a and b represents the other sides of a right angled triangle

As a flag is a rectangle, the two triangles cut would be right angled triangles

Therefore, a²+9²=15²

a²+81=225

a²=144

a=√144

a=12 feet
