I'm assuming the angle of the sunlight remains constant.

you can visualize these shadows as similar right triangles, where the short vertical legs are the objects, and the longer horizontal legs are the shadows themselves. because they are similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional to one another. that means:

object 1 / shadow 1 = object 2 / shadow 2
6.3 / 18.9 = 13.8 / x
x is the shadow of the second object, the one whose shadow we don't know yet.
solve the proportion by cross-multiplication:
6.3x = 18.9*13.8
6.3x = 260.82
x = 41.4

Use similar triangles (see the picture I drew at the bottom)

\frac{6.3}{13.8} = \frac{18.9}{x} \\6.3x=(13.8)(18.9)\\6.3x=260.82\\x=41.4

Factor 10x3 + 8x2 - 6x.
valkas [14]
We notice a factor of 2x in both 2x(5x^2+4x-3) trial and error (5x-3)(x+1) yeilds 5x^2+2x-3, nope (5x+3)(x-1) yeilds 5x^2-2x-3, nope (5x-1)(x+3) yeilds 5x^2+14x-3, nope (5x+1)(x-3) yeilds 5x^2-14x-3, nope simplest form is 2x(5x^2+4x-3)
