A scenery in your drawing room has height h and is hung in the wall so that its lower edge is at a distance d above the eye of an observer. How far from the wall should the observer stand to get the best view?
how do you define the best view?

To find the distance from the wall that the observer should stand to get the best view of the scenery, we need to consider the concept of perspective.
The best view of the scenery can be obtained when the observer's line of sight is perpendicular to the lower edge of the scenery. This means that the angle between the line of sight and the lower edge of the scenery should be 90 degrees.
Let's first visualize the scenario:
```
┌──────────────┐
│ │
│ Scenery │
│ │
└──────────────┘
H┌───┐
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ d
│ │
└───┘
```
Here, 'H' represents the height of the scenery, and 'd' represents the distance of the lower edge of the scenery above the observer's eye.
To find the distance from the wall, we can use the concept of similar triangles. The distance can be calculated using the following formula:
Distance from the wall (x) = (h * d) / H
where:
- h is the height of the scenery
- d is the distance of the lower edge of the scenery above the observer's eye
- H is the total height of the scenery
By plugging in the given values for h and d, as well as knowing the height of the scenery, you can calculate the distance from the wall (x) that the observer should stand to get the best view.
