Answer

f = 46 mm.

Work Step by Step

Find the image distance using the magnification equation. The image is inverted. $$m=\frac{h_i}{h_o}=-\frac{d_i}{d_o}$$ $$d_i=-d_o\frac{h_i}{h_o}=-(65m) \frac{-24mm}{34m}=45.9mm$$ Now find the focal length from the lens equation. $$\frac{1}{d_o}+\frac{1}{d_i}=\frac{1}{f}$$ $$f=\frac{d_od_i}{ d_o+d_i }=\frac{(65m)(0.0459m)}{ 65m+0.0459m }=0.0458m\approx 46mm$$
