Rohit’s father is a mathematician. One day he gave Rohit an activity to measure the
height of building. Rohit accepted the challenge and placed a mirror on ground level to
determine the height of building. He is standing at a certain distance so that he can see
the top of the building reflected from mirror. Rohit eye level is at 1.8 m above ground. The
distance of Rohit from mirror and that of building from mirror are 1.5 m and 2.5 m
respectively.

On the basis of above information, answer the following questions.

i) Find the height of the building. 2
