Answer:

b. 7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a direct proportion relationship between the length of the object/person and the shadow cast by it.

Let the length of the object/person be L an that of the shadow be B

L ∝ B

L = KB

where K is the constant of proportionality.

Where L = 1.75 m, B = 2.25 m

1.75 = 2.25B

B = 175/225 = 7/9

Therefore, L = (7/9)B

If at the same time, a statue casts a shadow 9 m long, then B = 9 m

L = (7/9) × 9

L = 7 m

The height of the statue is 7 m.
