Hyperbole:
Exaggeration used as a rhetorical tool or figure of speech is known as hyperbole.
It is sometimes referred to as auxesis in rhetoric.
It accentuates, arouses strong emotions, and leaves a lasting impact in poetry and oratory. It is typically not meant to be taken literally because it is a figure of speech.
The term "nine feet" is used here as "ninety feet," which is a blatant exaggeration of the situation Douglas was in.
