Answer:

43 feet

Explanation:

The shadow cats by the stick was 5 feet long while the actual stick is only 3 feet long which means the shadow makes it bigger by 2 feet. Take 2 feet away from 45 feet you will get 43 feet.

I hope you understand if you dlnt I will explain it more. Hope it helped too!
