If the tower consists of 6 equal blocks and the height of the entire tower is 12 inches, then each block has a height of 2 inches (as stated).

If you remove the top block, you will have 5 blocks remaining. Since each block is still 2 inches tall, the height of the remaining tower will be:

\[
\text{Height of remaining tower} = \text{Number of blocks remaining} \times \text{Height of each block}
\]
\[
\text{Height of remaining tower} = 5 \times 2 = 10 \text{ inches}
\]

Therefore, after removing the top block, the tower would be 10 inches tall.
