ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation

To construct the ray diagram, first, we have to draw a horizontal line from the top of the object to the mirror. Then, draw a line from the mirror at the point where the first line touches it, passing through the focus,

Then, draw another line from the top of the object, passing through the focus and to the mirror. Then, draw a horizontal line from there,

Finally, draw the image from the PA line to point A, where both lines intersect,
