Let's use a proportion.
4.2/12.6 = 20.4/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
4.2/12.6 = 20.4/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.

height/shadow = 4.2/12.6 = 20.4 /x
4.2 x = 12.6 * 20.4
x = 12.6 * 20.4 / 4.2
x = 61.2
check, the shadow should be about three times as long as the object is high in this problem. It is.
