Answer:

22.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow is formed at a specific factor of the original image hence if a 5 feet tall man casts a shadow rhat is 4 1/3 feet long then a  telephone pole casts a shadow that is 25.5 feet long must have a length

5 / 4 1/3 = x / 25.5

where x is the length of the pole

5 / 13/3 = x/ 25.5

15/13 = x/25.5

cross multiply

15 * x = 13 * 25.5

Divide both sides by 15

x = 13 * 25.5 / 15

x = 22.1 inches

The telephone pole in inches is 22.1 long
