In addition to the height of the object, the length of its shadow depends on
a few other things that are not described in the question. -- Is the object standing straight upright ?
-- Is the shadow cast on the ground or on sometheing else?
-- If on the ground, is the ground level ?
-- What is the altitude (angle) of the sun ?
The length of the shadow depends not only on the height of the object, but also on how high the Sun is in the sky.
Not enough information. The length of the shadow depends on the height of the object AND on the how high the Sun is in the sky.
The shaddow would be 6.7 feet long (assuming flat ground)
Divisibles, the 6 foot man would cast a shadow 2 feet long.
6 feet

it would be long cause the Sun is getting lower and would heat your feet and feet is the beginning of your body and would make a long shadow. sometimes longer than you!
To cast a 19 foot shadow the building would have to be 26.91 feet tall. Each foot of building/tree casts 8.47 inches of shadow.
The ratio of the height of the object to its shadow are the same for both objects. So, if H is the height of the tower, then H/500 = 40/36 therefore H = 500*40/36 = 555.55... feet.
37.2 ft
6 feet
Ratio of object to its shadow is the same. So if T is the height of the tree, then T/21 = 4/6 So T = 21*4/6 = 84/6 = 14 feet
35 feet tall.
The height of the flagpolle is 26.25 feet
