User: is the perpendicular distance from the image to the mirror the same as the perpendicular distance from the object to the mirror?

If an object moves further away from a mirror, why will its image appear to be smaller because one which bulges at the middle and is thinner at the edges. While this captures a wider object field, it does so at the cost of image accuracy. The result is compression of the reflected image, which makes objects appear smaller and farther away than they really are.

Images of objects placed in front of a plane mirror do not actually reverse left to right; instead, they undergo a front-to-back inversion.
