Answer:

21.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the sum of the tall metal, medium metal and short metal heights. Since the tall metal has a length of 1.44 m, and the ratio is in 9:8:7, hence:

(9/24) * x = 1.44

x = 3.84 m

For the medium metal pieces:

(8/24) * 3.84 = medium metal height

medium metal height = 1.28 m

For the short metal pieces:

(7/24) * 3.84 = short metal height

short metal height = 1.12 m

Total horizontal metal piece length  = 3 * 1.8 m = 5.4 m

Total tall metal piece length  = 2 * 1.44 m = 2.88 m

Total medium metal piece length  = 5 * 1.28 m = 6.4 m

Total short metal piece length  = 6 * 1.12 m = 6.72 m

Total length of metal = 5.4 + 2.88 + 6.4 + 6.72 = 21.4 m
