The solution is:

Let the girl be at point D on the ground from the lamppost after 4 sec.

∴ AD = 1.2 m/sec × 4 sec = 4.8 m = 480 cm

Suppose the length of the shadow of the girl be x cm when she at position D.

∴ CD = x cm

In ∆CDE and ∆CAB

∠CDE = ∠CAB  (90°)

∠DCE = ∠ACB  (Common)

∴ ∆CDE ∼ ∆CAB  (AA similarity)

∴ Length of her shadow after 4 second is 160 cm
