Some formulas that might be useful:

1/F = 1/di + 1/do (F = focal length, di = distance of image, do = distance of object)

For magnification:
M = hi/ho (factor of magnification as expressed for height of image and object)
M = - di/do (factor magnification as expressed for distances of image and object)

r = 2F (r = radius of curvature, F = focal length)

Ok, so let's see what information we have:
r = 20.0cm
height of ...
