Answer

We can write the angle of reflection at each point: b: $30^{\circ}$ c: $60^{\circ}$ d: $60^{\circ}$ e: $30^{\circ}$ f: $60^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Since the angle of incidence on all vertical surfaces is $30^{\circ}$, the angle of reflection on all vertical surfaces is $30^{\circ}$ If the angle of incidence on vertical surfaces is $30^{\circ}$, then the angle of incidence on horizontal surfaces is $60^{\circ}$ It follows that the angle of reflection on all horizontal surfaces is $60^{\circ}$ We can write the angle of reflection at each point: b: $30^{\circ}$ c: $60^{\circ}$ d: $60^{\circ}$ e: $30^{\circ}$ f: $60^{\circ}$
