If you're 5 ft 3 inches tall how tall would your shadow be in inches?
It's not possible to give you an answer without knowing the height of your shadow, because the height of a shadow depends on the position of the light (the lower the longer the shadow is). But if the shadow is exactly the same height as you, it would be the same inches in height as you are. To calculate that, just multiply 5 ft x 12, which = 60 inches, then add the other 3 inches to it. That would give you a total of 63 inches.
A Man is standing next to a building that is 53 feet 3 inches tall The building casts a shadow 30 feet long and the man casts a shadow 40 inches long How tall is the man in feet and inches?
It sounds like a homework question, so I am going to act like a tutor. What you need to do is convert the height of the building and the shadow into inches. Fifty three feet three inches is equal to how many inches? 30 feet is equal to how many Inches? Then all you have to do is figure out the ratio (larger number divided by smaller number in this case) and multiply that by the height of the shadow of the man) Then you might want to convert back into feet and inches. Hint: the building is taller than its shadow, so the man also will be taller than his shadow.
If An ostrich is 108 inches tall if its shadow is 162 inches and an emu standing next to it casts a 90 inch shadow how tall is the emu?
You can compute the height by using proportions: (90/162) = (H/108), which would be read, 90 is to 162 as H is to 108. then solve for H, which is the actual height of the emu. H = (90/162) x 108 = 59.94 inches

A man is standing near a totem pole the man is 74 inches tall and his shadow is 4 ft long The shadow of the totem pole is 6 ft long how tall is it?
The sunlight's vertical angle to the man (standing straight) and to the totem pole is the same. Therefore the length of their shadows (one side of a right triangle) to their heights (the other side) will have the same ratio.Man is 74 inches tall, shadow is 4 feet.Totem Pole is X inches tall, shadow is 6 feet (1.5 times as long)74 inches x 1.5 = 111 inches, the height of the totem pole (9' 3" tall).
