Ramesh places a mirror on level ground to determine the height of a pole (with traffic light fired on it) (see the figure). He stands at a certain distance so that he can see the top of the pole reflected from the mirror. Ramesh's eye level is 1.8 m above the ground. The distance of Ramesh and the pole from the mirror are 1.5 m and 2.5 m respectively. If Ramesh's eye level is 1.2 m above the ground, then the height of the pole is:
