Problem

A plane mirror of circular shape with radius r=20r = 20 cm is fixed to the ceiling. A bulb is to be placed on the axis of the mirror. A circular area of radius R=1R = 1 m on the floor is to be illuminated after reflection of light from the mirror. The height of the room is 33 m. The maximum distance from the centre of the mirror and the bulb so that the required area is illuminated is 15x15x (cm). Find xx.
