A beautiful person with two normal eyes wants to see full width of her face by a plane mirror. The eye and ear to ear distances of her face are `10 cm` and `14 cm` respectively. The minimum width of required mirror is :

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`2`

Here, eye to eye distance, `a = 10 cm`
ear to ear distance, `d = 14 cm`
`:.` Minimum width of rquired mirror is
`x = (b - a)/(2) = (14 - 10)/(2) = 2 cm`

A beautiful girl with two normal eye wants to see full width of her face by a plane mirror. The eye to eye and ear to ear distances of her face are 4 inch and 6 inch respectively. Find the minimum width of the required mirror.

Ramesh places a mirror on level ground to determine the height of a pole (with traffic light fired on it) (see the figure). He stands at a certain distance so that he can see the top of the pole reflected from the mirror. Ramesh's eye level is 1.8 m above the ground. The distance of Ramesh and the pole from the mirror are 1.5 m and 2.5 m respectively. The two similar triangles shown in the figure are:

A man of height 170cm wants to see his complete image in a plane mirror(while standing).His eyes are at a height of 160cm from the ground.

A man is 180 cm tall and his eyes are 10 cm below the top of his head. In order to see his entire height right from tow to head, he uses a plane mirror kept at a distance of 1 m from him. The minimum height of the plane mirror required is
