Answer

$d_i=60.0cm$ (image in front of the mirror)

Work Step by Step

We know that $f=\frac{1}{2}R$ $\implies f=\frac{1}{2}(40.0)=20.0cm$ Now we can find the image distance as $d_i=(\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{d_{\circ}})^{-1}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d_i=(\frac{1}{20.0}-\frac{1}{30.0})^{-1}=60.0cm$ (image in front of the mirror)
