Norah wants to buy a mirror so that she can check on her appearance from top to toe before she goes off to work. If Norah is $1.64 \mathrm{m}$ tall, how tall a mirror does she need?
A person places a mirror between herself and a building. When she is 3 meters away from the mirror and the mirror is 17.5 meters away from the building, she can see the top of the building in the corner of the mirror. If she is 2 meters tall, how tall is the building? Round to the nearest hundredth.
