Answer:

6 ft. Shadow

Explanation:

I am not 100% sure if this is correct but hopefully it is!

If something 10ft. high casts a 12ft. shadow then something half of 10ft. or 5 ft. would cast a 6ft. shadow.

Hope this Helps!!! :)

Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation: If a 10 foot object casts a 12 foot shadow, that means the shadow is 1.2 times the objects height. If the person is 5ft tall 5 x 1.2 = 6 feet
