If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror.
that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what.
BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell
Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
