    My shadow would be 7 feet tall.

    Since I am standing next to the fence, then whatever difference its actual height and its shadow has, will be the same difference of my shadow to my actual height.

    fence: Actual height - 4 ft; Shadow height - 5 ft; difference - 1 ft

    me : Actual height - 6 ft : Shadow height - ?; difference - 1ft

    Shadow Height - Actual Height = 1 ft

    Sh - 6ft = 1ft

    Sh = 1ft + 6ft

    Sh = 7ft
