Answer: Length of his shadow is 18 feet.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of tall monument = 64 foot

Length of shadow = 16 feet

Length of pole where Kyle is standing = 6 feet 3 inch = 72 inches

So, we need to find the length of its shadow.

So, according to question, we get that


(64* 12)/(16* 12)=(72)/(x)\\\\4=(72)/(x)\\\\4x=72\\\\x=(72)/(4)\\\\x=18\ feet

Hence, length of his shadow is 18 feet.
