(choose chapter or problem)

Developing Proof What you see in a mirror is actually light from an object bouncing off the mirror and traveling to your eye. The objects image seen in the mirror appears as if it were reflected behind the mirror, as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. In the diagram at right, assume that the mirror is perpendicular to the ground. Use the fact that the lights incoming angle, 1, is congruent to its outgoing angle, 2, to explain why BC = CE.
