Given that,
Length of the ladder = 20 ft
It casts a 12 ft shadow
To find,
If the statue casts a shadow that is 9 ft long then how tall is it?
Solution,
Let the ladder be x ft tall.
20 ft tall ladder = 12 ft shadow
9 ft tall ladder =
[tex]\dfrac{20}{12}\times 9\\\\=15\ ft[/tex]
Hence, the required length is 15 ft.
