How long is the fish?
27" - 54" - 63" - 72" - 81"
H=9, T=9+b/2, B=H+T+B/2 or B=9+9+b/2 0r b=36
Fish length= H+t+b or 9+(9+18)+36=72
how b comes 36??

H = 9 ...............Eq(1)
T = H + B/2........Eq(2)
B = H + T...........Eq(3)
putting value of B from eq(3) to eq(2)
T = H + [(H + T)/2]
T = (2H + H + T)/2
2T = 3H + T
T = 3H...............Eq(4)
putting value of H from Eq(1)
T = 3*9 = 27
putting this value of T and H from Eq(1) in Eq(3)
B = 9 + 27 = 36
Size of Fish = B + H + T = 27 + 36 + 9 = 72 answer
