Karen wanted to measure the height of her school's flagpole. She placed a mirror on the ground 44 ft from the flagpole, and then walked backward 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 12 ft from the mirror. Using similar triangles, find the height of the flagpole to the nearest hundredth of a foot.
