Answer 1

The inside rearview mirror gives you the true picture of where other vehicles are behind you on the roadway.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inside rearview mirror gives you the true picture of where other vehicles are behind you on the roadway.

When we see ourselves in a mirror, our image appears to be behind the mirror. The angles are such that our image is exactly the same distance behind the mirror as we stand away from the mirror. This is known as a virtual image. Objects in a virtual image appear to be where they cannot be, like behind a solid wall. However, these mirror images are not figments of our imagination and can be photographed and videotaped.
