A new large lantern is going to be hung in front of the temple.

Volunteer Ade asks, “How tall is this lantern?”

Xiaoru does not know, and there is no ladder in the storeroom.

They ask again, “How long is the rope above it?”

A child walks over holding a small lantern.

The setting sun casts a long shadow from the small lantern.

Ade puts the big lantern beside it and checks how long the two shadows are.

Without a ladder, they now know the answer.
