A 20 ft tall ladder standing next to a statue casts a 12 ft shadow. If the statue casts a shadow that is 9 ft long then how tall is it?

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 =

Hence, the required length is 15 ft.

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
