Answer:

[tex]x=0.057m[/tex]

[tex]h=0.457m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance of eyes from the top of hat [tex]d_1=114mm[/tex]

Distance of eyes from buckle  [tex]d_2=800mm[/tex]

Generally position of mirror relative eyes x is mathematically given as

[tex]x=\frac{114}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=57mm[/tex]

[tex]x=0.057m[/tex]

Generally the height of the mirror h is mathematically given as

[tex]h=\frac{(Buckle\ below\ the\ hat)+(Buckle\ below\ the\ hat)}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h=\frac{(114)+(800)}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h=457mm[/tex]

[tex]h=0.457m[/tex]
