Convert all to inches
69 / 168 = h / 600, where h is the height of the building.

Australian bedroom are 2.3 meters which is 7.5 feet
5 feet 11 inches/7 feet = 8 feet/x (mine)
71 inches/84 inches in shadow = 96 inches building height/x
cross multiply 84 inches in shadow X 96 inches building height = 8064
8064/71 = 113.57746478873239436619718309859
Divide 113.57746478873239436619718309859 by 12 = 9.4647887323943661971830985915493

791.14285714285714285714285714288 divided by 12 inches = 65.928571428571428571428571428573

65.928571428571428571428571428573 divided by 12 inches = 5.4940476190476190476190476190478
