The project in her Geometric class is an illustration of equivalent ratios

The approximated height of the flagpole is 13.19 meters

The given parameters are:

Distance from flagpole (D) = 14.25

Distance to the other side of the mirror (d) = 1.35

Kylie's height (h) = 1.25

To calculate the height (H) of the flagpole, we make use of the following equivalent ratios

$\mathbf{D :d = H :h}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{14.25 :1.35 = H :1.25}$

Express as fraction

$\mathbf{\frac{14.25 }{1.35 }= \frac{H }{1.25}}$

Multiply both sides by 1.25

$\mathbf{H = 1.25 \times \frac{14.25 }{1.35 }}$

Multiply

$\mathbf{H = 13.19 }$

Hence, the approximated height of the flagpole is 13.19 meters
