Both triangles are congruent so


\\ \bull\sf\longmapsto (x)/(4)=(9)/(12)


\\ \bull\sf\longmapsto 12x=36


\\ \bull\sf\longmapsto x=3

Light source should be at 3m

Answer:

  • 3 m

Explanation:

The formed triangles are similar and the ratio of corresponding sides is equal:

  • x/4 = 9/12
  • x/4 = 3/4
  • x = 3 m

The light source should be at 3 m height
