Given information
I am standing about 3m in front of a mirror. I can see myself from head to my waist and the mirror cuts the rest of my part.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
When you stand before the mirror we see the same image of us. When you stand before a mirror the length of the mirror required to see our full image is half of our height. If the height of the mirror is less, then the image size will also reduce accordingly. So the length of the mirror determines the image size.
