Geometry Question: Using a mirror to find the height of a building?

John places a mirror on the ground between himself and an apartment building. He then stands so that he can see the top edge of the building in the center of the mirror. The center of the mirror is 6.10 meters from her feet and 18.30 meters from the building. John’s eyes are 1.82 meters above the ground. How high is the building?
