There are two factors involved in casting a shadow: the height of the object and the direction (angle) of the light source. Generally, problems like this include the time of day or the angle of the sun or a comparison to some other object. As written, it is not possible to answer this question unequivocally.

How can you determine how tall a tree is if it casts a shadow that measures 5 m and at the same time a meter stick casts a shadow that is 0.4 m long?
Measure the tree with the meter stick.
A meter stick cast a shadow 1.4m long at the same time a flagpole casts a shadow 7.7m long the triangle formed by the meterstick and its shadow is similar.how tall is the flagpole?
84 feet tall
A pole's shadow measures feet when the shadow of a yardstick right next to the pole measures 15 inches How tall is the pole?
It depends exactly how long the shadow of the pole is... multiply whatever it is by 36/15 to get the answer.
A pole 15 feet high cast a shadow 5 feet long a 6 foot man standing nearby would cast a shadow?
Divisibles, the 6 foot man would cast a shadow 2 feet long.
A 40ft tall mounument casts a shadow that just reaches the base of a 4ft tall parking meter if the parking meter's shadow is 6.5 ft long how far apart are the monument and the meter?
The shadow of the 4 foot parking meter's shadow is 6.5. The shadow of the 40 foot tall monument has to be 65 (4/6.5 = 40/x so x is 65) a2+b2=c2 402+b2=652 1600 + b2 = 4225 b2 = 2625 b = about 51.2347 feet apart
