Let the shadow be x and use trigonometry and the tangent ratio:

Can you get 2 inches shorter with crouching?
Well, someone who is crouching will appear drastically shorter than someone who isn't... but crouching won't actually affect your height. When you stand back up, you won't be any shorter. Some people who have jobs where they have to stand in crouched or squatted positions can mess up their backs to where they can't really even stand up straight, but this is after a long, LONG time. So, realistically, crouching isn't going to actually make you shorter.

How do you tell time on a clock?
The longer hand is the minute hand and the shorter hand is the hour hand. Whatever the shorter hand is on, that is the hour. Whatever number the long hand is on, multiply that by 5, ( ex. long hand is on 6, multiply 30) and that is the minutes. If the longer hand is in between two numbers (like 5 and 6) you take the smallest number it is between (5) and count the number of little lines there are until you get to the line the longer hand is on. Ex. the longer hand is on 4 and shorter hand is on 7. The time would be 7:20. I hope that explains it.And by the way your stupid . And dumb. I am sorry but i could not stand but tell the truth.

Why the shadow appear long and some times appear short?
The length of a shadow is governed by the position of the light which shines upon an object. Take yourself for instance, if you stand with your back to a just rising sun all of its light is blocked by your body causing your shadow to be long. If you are able to stand in the same position for a long time you will notice your shadow becoming shorter. This is because the light of the sun shines on a smaller area of your body causing your shadow to shorten. If the sun was directly overhead you would only see a very small shadow around your feet. As the sun lowers in the sky in front of you the reverse happens and your shadow starts to get longer.
