Answer:

the height of the flag = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

inclide ladder length = 15m (hypotenuse)

distance between ladder foot and flag foot= 9m (base)

according to Pythagoras theorem,

(h)^2 = (p)^2 + (b)^2

(15)^2 = (p)^2 + (9)^2

(p)^2 = (15)^2 - (9)^2

(p)^2 = 225-81

p = √144

p= 12 cm
