For a project in her Geometry class, Morgan uses a mirror on the ground to measure the height of her school’s flagpole. She walks a distance of 10.35 meters from the flagpole, then places a mirror on flat on the ground, marked with an X at the center. She then walks 2 more meters past the mirror, so that when she turns around and looks down at the mirror, she can see the top of the flagpole clearly marked in the X. Her partner measures the distance from her eyes to the ground to be 1.45 meters. How tall is the flagpole? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a meter.
