a)


θi=θrtanθi=tanθrABBC=BDBCAB=BCAD=AB+BDAD=2AB=2BDBD=0.5(1.85)=0.925 m\theta_i=\theta_r\to\tan{\theta_i}=\tan{\theta_r}\\\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{BD}{BC}\to AB=BC\\AD=AB+BD\\AD=2AB=2BD\\BD=0.5(1.85)=0.925\ m

b)


GD=GA+ADθi=θrtanθi=tanθrGAGE=GFGEGA=GFAF=0.15=GA+GF=2GA=2GFGA=0.5(0.15)=0.075 mGD=0.075+1.85=1.925 mGD=GA+AD\\\theta_i'=\theta_r'\to\tan{\theta_i'}=\tan{\theta_r'}\\\frac{GA}{GE}=\frac{GF}{GE}\to GA=GF\\AF=0.15=GA+GF=2GA=2GF\\GA=0.5(0.15)=0.075\ m\\GD=0.075+1.85=1.925\ m
