This part of the mirror is exactly half the size of Mr. Huber. In the picture below you can see the mirror just as big as needed.

If the width of Mr. Huber is half as big as himself, Mr. Huber should hang the mirror upright. If the size of the mirror is not tall enough, Mr. Huber should find a different Mirror in his apartment that is at least half as tall as he is.
