Answer:
21.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the sum of the tall metal, medium metal and short metal heights. Since the tall metal has a length of 1.44 m, and the ratio is in 9:8:7, hence:
(9/24) * x = 1.44
x = 3.84 m
For the medium metal pieces:
(8/24) * 3.84 = medium metal height
medium metal height = 1.28 m
For the short metal pieces:
(7/24) * 3.84 = short metal height
short metal height = 1.12 m
Total horizontal metal piece length = 3 * 1.8 m = 5.4 m
Total tall metal piece length = 2 * 1.44 m = 2.88 m
Total medium metal piece length = 5 * 1.28 m = 6.4 m
Total short metal piece length = 6 * 1.12 m = 6.72 m
Total length of metal = 5.4 + 2.88 + 6.4 + 6.72 = 21.4 m
