Height of lampost can be found using similar traingles and it comes to 15 feet.
x /(x+ y) = 6/15 = 2/5
5x = 2x + 2y
3x = 2y
so y = (3/2)x and x = (2/3)y dy/dx = 3/2 and dx/dy = 2/3
speed at which y is increasing = dy/dt = 30
speed of shadow lengthening = dx / dt = dx/dy * dy/dt = 2/3 * 30 = 20 ft/min
Answer is 20 ft / minute.
