Answer:
3 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
If we draw this out, we'll see that there are actually two similar right triangles (see attachment), which means that we can set up a proportion.

(height of lookout tower) / (shadow of tower) = (height of column) / (shadow of column)
16 / 12 = 4 / x , where x is the shadow / unknown we want to find
Cross-multiply:
16x = 48
x = 3
The answer is thus 3 metres.
