Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 21.4 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f = \frac{D^2 - x^2}{4D}\) \(f = \frac{(90 \text{ cm})^2 - (20 \text{ cm})^2}{4 \times 90 \text{ cm}}\) \(f = \frac{8100 \text{ cm}^2 - 400 \text{ cm}^2}{360 \text{ cm}}\) \(f = \frac{7700 \text{ cm}^2}{360 \text{ cm}} \approx 21.4 \text{ cm}\)
