The correct answer is 223 ft. His son is 2 2/3 ft tall.
To find the height of the basketball player's son, you need to calculate 1/14 of the basketball player's height.
1/14 * 623 ft = 44.5 ft.
Therefore, the son is 44.5 ft tall.
To solve this problem, we need to find out how much shorter the son is compared to the basketball player.
Given that the basketball player is 623 feet tall and his son is 1/4 as tall, we can calculate the son's height by multiplying the player's height by 1/4:
623 ft * 1/4 = 155.75 ft
Therefore, the son is 155.75 feet tall.
None of the given options match the calculated result.
