Answer:

  16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow is 20/30 = 2/3 the length of the object, so the 6-foot person's shadow will be 4 ft long. It will begin to emerge when the person is 4 feet from the tip of the building's shadow. That distance is ...

  20 ft - 4 ft = 16 ft

from the building.
