Answer:

5 times

Explanation:

Assume the height of the streetlamp to be x

If you make a diagram from the details given by the question you should find two pairs of similar sides, from which you can form the equation


(x)/(6) = (20+5)/(5)

Solving this gives the height of the streetlamp as 30 feet. Divide this length by the height of the man to get the number of times the streetlamp is taller.
