Answer:

Since only his speed affects how fast his shadow moves, then we calculate for the speed which is 11.67ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming similar triangle

(y-x)/y = 6/15

15(y-x) = 6y

15y - 15x = 6y

(15 -6)y = 15x

9y = 15x

y = (5/3)x

By differentiating both sides with respect to time t

dy/dt = 5/3 (dx/dt)

But (dx/dt) is 7 ft/s

Therefore dy/dt = 5/3 * 7 = 35/3 = 11.67ft/s
