Question 104122: Knowing that a person's height is 5'3, and the distance between the top of his/her head and the eyes is 3 inches, how tall must be the mirror to see the person's entire body, and how high up the wall it must be hanged?
I used this formula{h being the height, and f the distance between the eyes and the top of the head}:h-f1/2=mirror, but I do not think that it works. Would you please help me?
