He decides to place a mirror on the ground between himself and the totem pole to use the angle of reflection to estimate the pole's height indirectly. he places the mirror at a spot that is 519 ft from the pole and backs up to his original position. if Raul is 6 ft tall, how tall does he calculate the pole to be?
