I would like to do a recovery and set up my 11" 3rd gen iPad from my late 2015 iMac. What adapter/cable do I need to connect the pro with usb-c to the iMac with USB ports.

If your computer does not have a USB-C port - and instead only has the older USB Type-A ports - you simply require a certified USB Type-A to USB-C charging/data cable. These are available from good computer stores - and Apple. Here is one example manufactured by mophie and marketed by Apple:

You should aim to avoid simple plug-adapters - as these do not contain the protective active electronic circuitry intended to protect the iPad from misconnection and potential damage. Certified cables do incorporate the necessary electronics.

You would need a USB-A to USB-C adapter, or a USB-A to USB-C cable directly.

Thank you both. A $6 cable from Amazon worked fine.
You’re very welcome.
