Answer:

3

Explanation:

Since it's at the same time of the day, the ratio between the height of the person and the shadow they cast will stay the same. So the man's height to shadow ratio is 6:8 = 3:4. The son's height to shadow ratio would be the same so x:4 = 3:4 therefore his height is 3 feet.
