21. 4. Michele wanted to measure the height of her school’s flagpole
4. Michele wanted to measure the height of her school’s flagpole. She placed a mirror on the ground 48 feet from the flagpole, then walked backwards until she was able to see the top of the pole in the mirror. Her eyes were 5 feet above the ground and she was 12 feet from the mirror. Using similar triangles, find the height of the flagpole to the nearest tenth of a foot.
25 ft.
38.4 ft.
20 ft.
55 ft.
