I don't have any idea how to go about this...
Please help!:frown:

A pinhole camera produces an image of an object kept at a distance of 100m from the pin hole. If the screen is 10 cm from the pin hole and the image is 5 cm high, what is the height of the object

Any help will be appreciated :smile:

Thank You!
