The magnification equation needs to be used, which has the following formula: h_i/ h_o = - d_i/ d_o Where: h_iis the image height h_ois the object height d_ois the object distance d_iis the image distance. Solve for the image distance: h_i/ h_o = - d_i/ d_o 3.5 m/ 4.5 m = - d_i/1.4 m 0.78 m = - d_i/1.4 m d_i= - 1.09 m
