Solution

A convex mirror diverges the rays of light coming from an object. So the image produced by the convex mirror is virtual, erect, and diminished.
Hence, the convex mirror reduces the size of the image and increases the field of view.
Final answer - Hence, the person should use a convex mirror to see a tall building in a small mirror.
