Case Example:On one wall there hang a picture 6 ft. x 4 ft. in dimension. On the opposite wall 15 ft. away is a plane mirror. What is the minimum size of the mirror for aperson who is standing 8 ft. away from the mirror to see the whole picture?
(The solution is on the picture)Now, please answer questions 1 and 21. Compute for the number of images produced by a 2 separate mirrors at an angle of 45 degrees if the object is placed between the mirrors.Formula:N = (360/Angle) – 12. A sight testing chart measuring 120 cm x 80 cm, the long dimension being the vertical one is to be viewed by reflection in a plane mirror. Find the smallest size of the mirror that can be used if the chart is 3.25 meters away from the mirror and the observer’s eye is 2.75 meters away from the mirror. The lower edge of the chart is 1.5 meters above the ground. How high must the edge ofthe mirror from the ground?

- The basic concepts of "line" and "point" can be used to define a ray. A ray is a portion of a line that starts at a point and extends in a particular direction. How can this definition of a ray be used to formulate a definition of an angle? O An angle is the intersection of two rays at a common point. O An angle is a special kind of ray that points in two particular directions. An angle is the figure formed by two rays that lie on the same line. An angle is a figure formed by two rays extending from a common point.arrow_forwardMIRROR/LENS EQUATION 1. Suppose that the height of the object is 3.00 cm at 20.0 cm from the concave mirror.
