For a project in his Geometry class, Jacob uses a mirror on the ground to measure the
height of his school building. He walks a distance of 8.75 meters from the building,
then places a mirror flat on the ground, marked with an X at the center. He then
walks 3.5 more meters past the mirror, so that when he turns around and looks down
at the mirror, he can see the top of the school clearly marked in the X. His partner
measures the distance from his eyes to the ground to be 1.75 meters. How tall is the
school? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a meter.
