Explanation / Answer

Let X be the distance to be measured.

In order for the security S to see the burglar, if the light rays will get reflected from B to S off the edge of mirror.

When you join the dotted lines from S to the edge of mirror, you will find the angle as 45 degrees relative to the wall. So the angle of reflection is 45 degrees.

And we know from the laws of reflection that,

Tan (theta) = P/B

In our case, P = X and B = d/2 = 2/2 = 1 and theta = 45 deg

tan (45) = X / 1

X = 1 x tan (45) = 1 x 1 = 1 meters

Hence, X = 1 meter
