I have a formula here that might just help you solve the problem on your own:

The number of images depends on the angle between the two mirrors. The number of images formed in two plane mirrors inclined at an angle A to each other is given by the formula:

Number of images = 360/A - 1.

I hope my guide has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
