A 23 cm tall object is placed in front of a concave mirror with a radius of 37 cm. The distance of the object to the mirror is 86 cm. Calculate the focal length of the mirror.

18.5 cm

Explanation:

From;

1/u + 1/v = 1/f

Where;

u= object distance = 86cm

image height = 23 cm

Radius of curvature = 37 cm

The radius of curvature (r) is the radius of the sphere of which the mirror forms a part.

Focal length (f) = radius of curvature (r)/2 = 37cm/2 = 18.5 cm

Therefore, the focal length of the mirror is 18.5 cm

i guess it’s a and b
