Three vertical poles stand on level ground, and their tops are collinear as shown. The middle and shortest poles are \(7\) m and \(3\) m high. Their horizontal separation is \(4\) m; the tallest and middle poles are \(6\) m apart. Find the tallest height.[3]
The right-angled triangles formed by the differences in pole heights are similar.
