Let's mark the pole's length as x.

1/2 * x will be then underground,

1/3 * x is under water,

(that's total of 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6 * x we know is invisible)

9 is visible and it has to be that remaining 1/6 * x.

Given simple equation:

9 = x / 6

x = 9 * 6 = 54

The total length of the pole is 54 ft.
