    We are given a concave spherical mirror with the following dimensions:

    Radius = 60 cm; D o = 30 cm

    Height = 6 cm; h o = 6 cm

    First, we need to know the focal length, f, of the object (this should be given). Then we can use the following formulas for calculation:

    Assume f = 10 cm

    1 / f = 1 / d o + 1 / d i

    1 / 10 = 1 / 30 + 1 / d i

    d i = 15 cm

    Then, calculate for h i:

    h i / h o = - d i / d o

    h i / 6 = - 15 / 30

    h i = - 3 cm

    Therefore, the distance of the object from the mirror is 3 centimeters. The negative sign means it is "inverted".
