Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Height of object is 5 cm

Object distance from a convex lens is 18 cm

Focal length of convex lens is 10 cm

i.e. h = 5 cm

u = -18 cm

f = +10 cm

Let v is distance of the image from the lens. Using lens formula :


(1)/(f)=(1)/(v)-(1)/(u)\\\\(1)/(v)=(1)/(f)+(1)/(u)\\\\(1)/(v)=(1)/(10)+(1)/((-18))\\\\v=22.5\ cm

The magnification of lens is :


m=(v)/(u)=(h')/(h), h' is height of the image


(v)/(u)=(h')/(h)\\\\h'=(vh)/(u)\\\\h'=(22.5* 4)/((-18))\\\\h'=-5\ cm

h' = -5.00 cm (in three significant figures)
