The length of the shadow of the 6-foot tall man is 3 feets

Actual Length :

  • Length of pole = 90 feets
  • Length of man = 6 feets

Length of shadow :

  • Pole shadow = 45 feets
  • Shadow of man = x

Using the relation :

  • (Pole length/shadow) = (man's height / shadow)
  • (90 / 45) = (6 / x)
  • Cross multiply :
  • 90x = 270
  • x = 270 / 90
  • x = 3

Therefore, the shadow of the man is 3 feets long.
