Designate the unknown shadow length by s. Shadows cast at the same time and place are proportional to the height of the object casing the shadow. Therefore: 4/6 = s/21, or s = [4(21)]/6 = 14 feet.

Where are shadows from?
It has something to do with what light happens to be around that person at the time. If there happens to be a bright light shining on an object, that object's 'shadow' will cast itself on whatever is around it. +++ More simply, the "something" is the object blocking the direct light from the source. The air scatters the light so the shadow is not very dark - on the air-less Moon a shadow is fully dark.
