10 ft 3.5 in (to the nearest half inch).
There are two similar triangles:
The shadows corresponds to one side and have the ratio of 7 : 12 (Jimmy : pole) = 7/7 : 12/7 = 1 : 12/7
So for every 1 of Jimmy's shadow, the pole's shadow is 12/7.
The heights are in the same ratio, thus:
The height of the pole is 6 x 12/7 ft = 72/7 ft = 10 2/7 ft ≈ 10.29 ft ≈ 10 ft 3.5 in (to the nearest half inch)
