Answer:16 ft 4 in


Step-by-step explanation:we want to find the height of the pole.

It's shadow is 2yards(6ft) long,

3 x the boy's shadow of 2ft long

Because the length of a shadow corresponds to the height of the object casting it, the poles height would be 3x the height of the boy.

His height is 5'6" (66")

66×3=196

196" = 16'4"
