Answer:

h ≈ 11 ft

Explanation:

there are 2 similar triangles created , small one on the left and the larger outside one.

corresponding sides are in proportion, that is


(h)/(4+5) =
(John)/(5)


(h)/(9) =
(6)/(5) ( cross- multiply )

5h = 54 ( divide both sides by 5 )

h = 10.8 ≈ 11 ft ( to the nearest foot )
