How tall is a man that casts a shadow at the same time a 40 ft building casts a 60 ft shadow?
If the building casts a shadow, then the sun is out, and any man who is not standing in theshadow of the building will cast a shadow of his own, no matter how short or tall he may be.(If you had told us the length of the man's shadow, it would have been a completely differentquestion, and we could have had a completely different answer to offer in response.)

What time would a shadow be at its longest?
That depends where you are on the planet. Your shadow would be longest if you were standing on a rotational pole at the time of equinox. At this point your shadow would be infinity long as it would be "projected" into space. However as a rule of thumb one's shadow is longest when the sun is rising or setting but high enough to cast your shadow.
Thomas happened to notice that at 400 PM on his uncle's farm a fence post that was 5 feet tall cast a 3 foot shadow He also noticed that a nearby tree cast a 12 foot shadow How tall is the tree?
I think this question is about similar shapes. To answer this divide the height of the tree, 5ft, by the shadow cast by it, 3 ft. This will give you the scale factor. To then find the answer, times the scale factor by the shawdow cast by the nearby tree, and will find your answer in ft. Hope this helped.
