Answer:

The tip of the shadow is moving at 4.8 ft per sec when the question is:

"A street light is at the top of a 16 ft tall pole. A woman 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 8 ft/sec along a straight path. How fast is the tip of her shadow moving when she is 35 ft from the base of the pole?"
