Answer:

26 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing this is how it's done

60-40= 20

there for at this time any shadow would be 20x it's original height/length

so 6+20=26 ft

lmk if I'm correct

Taking ratios

Let the shadow length=x ft

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 40:60=6:x[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{40}{60}=\dfrac{6}{x}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{6}{x}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 4x=6(6)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 4x=36[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{36}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=9[/tex]
