You stand 1.55 m in front of a wall and gaze downward at a small vertical mirror mounted on it. In this mirror you can see the reflection of your shoes.
If your eyes are 1.95 m above your feet, through what angle should the mirror be tilted for you to see your eyes reflected in the mirror? (The location of the mirror remains the same, only its angle to the vertical is changed.)



Answer :

To see your eyes reflected in the mirror, the mirror needs to be tilted at an angle of 33.02°.

Given,

You look down at a little vertical mirror hanging on the wall as you are standing 1.55 meters in front of it. You may see your shoes reflected in this mirror. How far should the mirror be slanted for you to see your eyes mirrored if your eyes are 1.95 meters above your feet? (The mirror is still in the same place, but its angle to the vertical has changed.)

Now, by assuming we have,

The height at which the eyes are above the feet y = 1.95

The distance between the person and wall x = 1.55

From a triangle,

tan∅ = (y/2) / x

tan∅ = (1.95/2) / 1.55

∅ = 33.02°

Hence, the mirror should be tilted for you to see your eyes reflected in the mirror by an angle of 33.02°.
