Answer:

His shadow would be 3 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ladder:

[tex] \frac{50}{25} = 2 \: or \: \frac{2}{1} [/tex]

Mark:

[tex] \frac{6}{x} [/tex]

Using proportions and ratios formula.

[tex] \frac{6}{x} = \frac{2}{1} [/tex]

Cross multiply.

6 = 2x

Divide both sides.

3 = x or x = 3
