18 ft
Step-by-step explanation: Good luck :)
This question sounds confusing but if you just look at the numbers it is much easier.
Elephant height: 8 ft
Elephant shadow: 4ft
Statue height: ?
Statue shadow: 9ft
As you can see the elephant's height is double the size of the shadow, if you put those as ratios the statues height will also be double its shadow, from there just double 9ft and you will get your answer. 9x2=18ft
