Answer:

So the man's height is 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

boy = 3 feet ; shadow = 7 feet

man = x ; shadow = 14 feet

as the height increases with the length of the thing or person so it is directly proportional

length  |  shadow

3          |  7

x          | 14

\frac{3}{7}  = \frac{x}{14} \\\\(3)(14) = 7x\\\\42 = 7x\\\\x = 6

Hope it helps!!!!
