I'm assuming the angle of the sunlight remains constant.

you can visualize these shadows as similar right triangles, where the short vertical legs are the objects, and the longer horizontal legs are the shadows themselves. because they are similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional to one another. that means:

object 1 / shadow 1 = object 2 / shadow 2
6.3 / 18.9 = 13.8 / x
x is the shadow of the second object, the one whose shadow we don't know yet.
solve the proportion by cross-multiplication:
6.3x = 18.9*13.8
6.3x = 260.82
x = 41.4

Use similar triangles (see the picture I drew at the bottom)

\frac{6.3}{13.8} = \frac{18.9}{x} \\6.3x=(13.8)(18.9)\\6.3x=260.82\\x=41.4

Find a cartesian equation for the curve. r = 9 sin(θ)
Paul [167]
For this case we have the following equation:
 r = 9 sin (θ)
 In addition, we have the following change of variables:
 y = r * sine (θ)
 Rewriting the equation we have:
 r = 9 sin (θ)
 r = 9 (y / r)
 r ^ 2 = 9y
 On the other hand:
 r ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + y ^ 2
 Substituting values:
 x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 9y
 Rewriting:
 x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 9y = 0
 Completing squares:
 x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 9y + (-9/2) ^ 2 = (-9/2) ^ 2
 Rewriting:
 x ^ 2 + 1/4 (2y-9) ^ 2 = 81/4
 4x ^ 2 + (2y-9) ^ 2 = 81
 Answer:
 
The Cartesian equation is:
 
4x ^ 2 + (2y-9) ^ 2 = 81
