If the building casts a shadow, then the sun is out, and any man who is not standing in the
shadow 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 different
question, and we could have had a completely different answer to offer in response.)

The lenght of the shadow will be 12.6 ft
You can solve this with a simple inequality. 6/10 = x/62Solve for x and that gives you your answer. It comes out to be 37.2 feet.
That varies depending on the height of the sun, whether the shadow is cast on a sloping surface and so forth.

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.
1. How high is a flagpole that casts a shadow of 45 ft at the same time a woman 5.5 ft tall casts a shadow 10 ft?
Let x = the height of the building. So we have, x/2.6 = 42.25/1.51 x = (2.6)(42.25)/1.51 x =72.75 Thus, the building is 72.75 meter tall.
488 cm
You take 280 times 10 and then divide that by 14 which equals 200 ft.
Let the height of the building be x and use the tangent ratio: x/20 = 6/4 Make x the subject of the equation: x = (6*20)/4 x = 30 ft
The lenght of the shadow will be 12.6 ft
