If your building casts a 280 ft shadow how tall is the building?
That varies depending on the height of the sun, whether the shadow is cast on a sloping surface and so forth.
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 tool do you use to measure the height of a school?
(1) One way would be to have a stick, stuck vertically into the ground. Measure the length of the shadow and the length of the stick. The actual height of the stick will be a ratio of the shadow's length. Then measure the length of the school's shadow. The height of the school in comparison with its shadow length will be same ratio as the height of the stick compared to its shadow length. You could use a tape measure for this. And possibly a calculator, which will make the calculation easier than doing it by long arithmetic or mental arithmetic. (2) Another way would be to use something that can tell you, from a short distance away from the school, the angle between the top of the school and the ground. A sextant can do this. It is more accurate than using a protractor. Using trigonometry and the distance from the building to where you are standing, you will be able to calculate the height of the school, because it will be at right angles to the line from you to the school. If you don't know trigonometry, method (1) will be easier.
A vertical pole five feet long casts a shadow of 2 feet if at the same time a nearby tree casts a shadow of 10 feet how tall is the tree?
25 feet tall
Measure the height of building 6 ft pole in shadow of building and covers shadow of building distance between pole and building 182ft pole cast shadow of 5.25ft how tall is building?
208 ft pole
What is the best time for you to measure you're shadow?
You're shadow is always changing. Why not just measure yourself?
How long a shadow would a 140 foot building cast if a 6 foot person cast a 10 foot shadow?
140*10/6 = 233.33... ft or 233 ft 4 inches. Except at that distance, the end of the shadow would be too diffuse to measure accurately.
If a tree 17 feet tall casts a shadow 12 feet long how high is a building that casts a shadow 19 feet long?
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.
How do you measure the shadow's distance?
Trigonometry

Who wrote Between Shadow and Light?
Between Shadow and Light was written by John R. Hargrove.
Is shadow evil?
Everything has a shadow if the sun is shining or a lamp is on in a building. If you see a shadow without a light source my guess would be that it's evil.
What is the biggest shadow you have ever seen?
The biggest shadow I have personally seen is probably the one from the Empire State Building.
A building with height D feet has a shadow with G feet as its length. What is the height of a neighboring building with a shadow of C feet?
D/G = x/C The x is the height of the neighboring building. Just cross-multiply, then divide.
