Answer: a concave mirror and an angled plane mirror

Step-by-step explanation:

A telescope that uses curved mirror and their combination to reflect light and produce an image is a reflecting telescope.

A reflecting telescope has mainly a concave mirror which used to gather and coverage light at focus. At the focus, a plane mirror is placed at an angle so as to reflect the focused light towards the eyepiece.
