Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
L = D + 28
⅓L = ⅘D
Solve the system of equations using elimination or substitution. Using substitution:
⅓L = ⅘(L − 28)
Multiply both sides by 15:
5L = 12(L − 28)
Distribute:
5L = 12L − 336
Combine like terms:
336 = 7L
Divide:
L = 48
0.7 = 7/10 = 14/20
The missing numbers are 10 and 14
According to the rule of similar polygons the ratio of corresponding sides of two polygons will be the same. So in this case the ratio of original length and shadow of a stick and ratio of length of flagpole and its shadow will be the same.
Length of Stick = 5 feet
Shadow of Stick = 8 feet
Shadow of flagpole = 32 feet
Length of flagpole = x = ?
Using rule of similar polygon we can write,

Therefore, the length of flagpole will be 20 feet.
