Michelle wants to determine the height of the flag pole outside of her school. She places a meter stick next to the flag pole and measures the shadow of the meter stick and the flag pole. If the meter stick has a shadow of 120 centimeters and the flag pole has a shadow of 28.8 meters, then how tall is the flag pole?
