When two plane mirrors are parallel, such as on opposite walls in a barber shop, multiple images

Question:

When two plane mirrors are parallel, such as on opposite walls in a barber shop, multiple images arise because each image in one mirror serves as an object for the other mirror.

(a) Find the distance from the left mirror to the first four images in that mirror.

(b) Find the distance from the right mirror to the first four images in that mirror.
