Answer:  11.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height of Fatim = 6 feet

At noon, he stands with the sun behind him casting a shadow. Also, Fatima is standing vertical to the ground such that a right triangle is formed.

Let the length of Fahim’s shadow be x.

By Pythagoras theorem , we have

13^2=x^2+6^2\\\\\Rightarrow169=x^2+36\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=169-36\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=133\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{133}=11.5325625947\approx11.5

Hence, the  length of Fahim’s shadow =11.5 feet
