Question 1010386
Make the diagram, figure, or picture.  The way it "looks", hypotenuse is 36, leg on the ground is 12, and the other leg of the triangle is  some y-3, if y is the length of the pole.  If this makes sense to you now, then you know what to do.


Do you need to see the algebra steps starting from use of Pythagorean theorem?



Final result, {{{y=3+6sqrt(6)}}}
