It depends on the angle of depression of the sun. The answer would be 80ft * tan(90-angle of depression)
At a depression angle of 40 degrees, the shadow would be 80 * tan (50) which equals 95.340ft

21metres
A lamp pole casts a shadow 49 feet long when the angle of elevation of the sun is 44.8 degrees Find the height of the lamp pole?
A pole casting a shadow 49 feet long with an angle of elevation of the sun of 44.8 degrees is 50 feet tall. (47.98 rounded to two places)Tangent (theta) = opposite / adjacentTangent (44.9) = X / 49X = 47.98This does not take into account the curvature of the earth, but the error in this example is inconsequential, specifically an elevation error of about 0.015 percent.

Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
If a clock tower is 15 feet tall. How long is its shadow at 60 degree above the horizon. How do you work out the problem?
If the angle of elevation is 60 degrees then by using the tangent ratio the length of the shadow is 8.66 feet rounded to two decimal places.
How tall is a boy that casts a 4 ft shadow?
The height of a boy that casts a 4 foot long shadow depends on the angle of the sun. A tangent can be used to calculate his height if we know the angle of the sun using the equation: Height = shadow length x tangent of the angle of the sun. Using a calculator, it is easy to get the value of the tangent for any angle and then complete the equation.
