[SOLVED] Width of Aperture...please help!

1. Homework Statement
A point source of light illuminates an aperture 2.3 m away. A 10.2-cm-wide bright patch of light appears on a screen 1.02 m behind the aperture. How wide is the aperture?

2. Homework Equations



3. The Attempt at a Solution
I thought it was just (.102)/(2.3 + 1.02) = 0.0307 m
