Answer:

16 ft

Explanation:

We are here given that the side lengths of the state flag are in ratio 4:7 . Let us take the ratio to be
4x:7x .

Now we are given that the flag is 28 ft. long. So ;


\longrightarrow 7x = 28\\

Divide both sides by 7 ,


\longrightarrow x = 4

Therefore the height of the flag will be ,


\longrightarrow h = 4x

Substitute for x ,


\longrightarrow h = 4(4) ft

Multiply,


\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{ h = 16ft}}

And we are done!
