6-foot tall person stands in front of flat mirror. How tall must mirror be for this person to view his full body/image? <-Yeah, that's a question.

Problem is, this is like more-so of a conceptual question.

I do know the answer is 3 feet. That's what's so dang confusing... To see your full body/image... I thought 6 feet at first :-P
 
It will depend on how far away from the mirror you are standing. The further away you get, the smaller your 'image' gets and so the smaller the mirror can be.
