For a project in his Geometry class, Yusuf uses a mirror on the ground to measure the

height of his school building. He walks a distance of 10.25 meters from the building,
then places a mirror flat on the ground, marked with an X at the center. He then
walks 1.65 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 1.55 meters. How tall
is the school? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a meter.

x = 9.629 meters
