Hi, I don't know how to solve this exercise..

Q. A man 2 m tall walks along the edge of a straight road 10 m wide. On the other edge of the street stands a streetlight 8 m high. If the man walks at 3/2 m/sec, how fast is his shadow lengthening when he is 10 m from the point directly opposite the light?

Thanks
