    This is the concept of proportionality, the length of the pole will be given by:

    [length of the post]/[length of the shadow]=[length of the statue]/[length of the shadow of statue]

    thus;

    suppose the length of the pole is x m

    thus;

    x/34=36/77

    x=36/77*34

    x=15.8 m

    the answer is 15.9 m
