1Madeline wanted to measure the height of her school's flagpole. She placed a mirror on
the ground 40 feet from the flagpole, and then walked backwards until she was able to
see the top of the pole in the mirror. Her eyes were 5 ft above the ground and she was 9
ft from the mirror. Use similar triangles to find the height of the flagpole. Round your
answer to the nearest hundredth.
