Select one:
Yes, because the angle is the same for both mirrors.
No, because the angle is changed due to the size of the mirror.
No, because the length of the side formed by the mirror has
changed.
Yes, because the wall is the same for both mirrors.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F74c34e50-fb0f-46ba-baa6-7499f059f097%2F578a09c8-e6c1-40e4-9e6f-c5a535c7321d%2Fr89ghk_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
