Answer:

24ft is the length of the shadow of the telephone pole

Explanation:

Well first what I did was divide 15 by 4 which equaled to 3.75, after that the question said that the telephone pole was now 90 feet tall so I just had to divide 90 by 3.75 and then 24 ft long was the final answer. I hope that helps
