Question
Part 2: Giraffe
As shown below, the eyes of a giraffe are a distance H₁ = 2.1 m above the ground and a distance L₁ = 4.1 m in front of a vertical plane
mirror (green in the diagram - ignore its thickness). The bottom edge of the mirror is a distance H₂ = 0.51 m above the floor. The distance
L₂ is the closest point on the floor that the giraffe can see in the mirror. The red lines are the path that light rays from that closest point
take to get to the giraffe's eyes. Determine L2.
