Question

(EXE-4) How much longer, in inches, must the minimum length of a plane mirror be for a 6-ft 4-in be to see his complete head-to-toe image than for a 5-ft 2-in woman to do so? 7.5 The difference in length for the mirror is half the difference in length (e.g. height) of the object (or person) to be fully imaged in it.

Step 1

The man is 6 ft 4 in tall, which is equivalent to 76 inches (6 * 12 + 4). The woman is 5 ft 2 in tall, which is equivalent to 62 inches (5 * 12 + 2). The difference in height is 76 - 62 = 14 inches. Now, we need to find the difference in the length of the Show more…
