Both will have the same tangent ratio so let the shadow be x:
4ft 2ins/4ft = 72ft/x
Change the feet into inches:
50/48 = 864/x
Multiply both sides by 48x and then divide both sides by 50:
x = 829.44 inches = 69.12 feet
Building's shadow = 69.12 feet

What is the use of cantilevers in construction?
: I would consider the most common use for cantilever beams to be in building construction.....and probably the most obvious example is in mediaeval buildings with a framework of oak beams . Everyone must have seen these old buildings where the upper stories are wider than the ground floor , very common in Europe . The ceiling beams for the ground floor (also the floor beams for the upstairs rooms)are arranged to project out through the walls by 10-18 inches (30-45cm) , and the wall structure for the upper stories is built apon the projecting ends . This allows a larger open space to be achieved in the ground floor rooms without annoying support pillars because the weight is partly offset by the weight of the upper stories acting as a counter balance . This technique has been described as a way to avoid the tax on the building 'footprint', but this is not true in all countries where it was adopted , the tax merely prompted a wider acceptance of the technique . The same building tricks are used on modern buildings and bridges , but are not always obvious or visible when the structure is completed .
