Answer:

15

Explanation:

The ratio of (the foot of the ladder to the person) : (the person's height) is equal to (the wall to the foot of the ladder) : (the height of the wall) because the triangles are similar. So, if you solve the problem you will get:

(x= the height of the wall)

6:6 = 6+9:x

6:6 = 15:x

1:1=15:x

x=15

The height of the wall is 15 feet.
