Studdy Solution
Solve the proportion for x x :
First, cross-multiply to find x x :
9×x=6×129 \times x = 6 \times 12
Simplify the right side:
9x=729x = 72
Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x x :
x=729x = \frac{72}{9}
Calculate the division:
x=8x = 8
The length of the lemon tree's shadow is:
8 meters \boxed{8} \text{ meters}
