magine that you travel by car on the General Cañas highway, towards San José-Alajuela and the car turns right towards the entrance of Barreal. When you get to the top, in front of you there is a convex mirror on a pole so that you can see the cars coming towards you from the left. The mirror has a radius of curvature of 427.2 mm and the car is positioned 7.5 m away from the mirror, how to calculate the mirror distance - an image that is formed due to the reflection of the car in which you are traveling.
