A ray of light strikes a mirror. The angle formed between the incident ray and the reflected ray measures 64 degrees. What are the measurements of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection? Please show work on the diagram.

Two mirrors are oriented at right angles. A narrow light beam strikes the horizontal mirror at an incident angle of $65^{\circ},$ reflects from it, and then hits the vertical mirror. Determine the angle of incidence at the vertical mirror and the direction of the light after leaving the vertical mirror. Include a sketch with your explanation.
