Hello There

Answer: 13

Here are the steps:
First we subtract 15 from 22 and then got 7

15 - 22 = 7

Finally we Add 7 + 6 = 13

Which is our final answer

I hope I helped

check the picture below.

the AA part is done by the fact that the sun, or any light source, will make them both have a right-angle with the ground, and their shadow will make the same angle with their top.
