Problem 3

A flagpole at a schoolyard extends cables to points GG and HH on the flat ground, where HH is 7 m7~\(\text{m}\) closer to the base of the flagpole than GG. The cable to point GG forms an angle of 4040^{\(\circ\)} with the horizontal and the cable to point HH forms an angle of 6565^{\(\circ\)} with the horizontal. What is the height of the flagpole? Round your answer to two decimal places.
