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
