The height of the person standing next to the building is 5 feet, calculated using proportions from the heights and lengths of their shadows. By setting up a proportion based on similar triangles, we found that H p ​ = 5 ft. Thus, the ratio of heights to shadow lengths is consistent, leading to this result.
