The picture (Figure 1) shows a room with ceiling height a = 3 m and length b = 8 m. A laser beam originating at the bottom left corner is aimed at an angle such that it reflects off of the mirrored ceiling and then hits point A on the opposite wall. Point A is halfway between the floor and ceiling. Find the angle 0. Mirrored Ceiling A Laser beam Wall a
