This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A woman is 160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright.

Hint: Consider the ray diagram below, of the rays that enable her to see her feet and the top of her head.

Use what you know about the law of reflection, together with a bit geometry.

The missing Image is uploaded along this answer below.

Answer:

the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and illustrated in the image below,

From image 2;

The distance from the woman's eyes to the top of her head is represented as b and a represent the distance from her eyes to her feet.

Therefore, since her height is 160 cm

a + b = 160 ------ let this be equation 1

i.e AD + DG = 160 cm

Now, from the same image 2, we will notice that triangle ABC and tringle CBD are similar, so

∠ABC = ∠CBD

AC = CD

since AD = a and AC + CD = A

AC = CD = a/2

Also, triangle DEF and FEG are si,ilar

∠DEF = ∠FEG

so

DF = FG

since DG = b and DF + FG = b

DF = b/2

so the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which the woman can see her entire body while standing upright will be;

⇒ a/2 + b/2  

⇒ a + b / 2

from equation 1, a + b = 160

so

⇒ a + b / 2 = 160 / 2 = 80

Therefore, the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

100 POINTS! I will mark brainliest! Record your hypothesis as an “if, then” statement for the rate of dissolving the compounds:
love history [14]

Answer:

<u><em>Rate of dissolving compounds:</em></u>

If we increase the temperature of the solution, then the dissolving compound would dissolve more easily.

<u><em>Boiling Point of Compounds:</em></u>

If the inter-molecular forces of any compound is really strong, then the boiling point of the compound would be really high.

02: Describes what happens to the strength of gravity if the mass between two objects
Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. ... increases, the force of gravity decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.
