A real object is at the zero end of the meter stick. A large concave mirror at the 100-cm end of a meter stick forms an image of the object at the 70-cm position. A small convex mirror placed at the 20-cm position forms a final image at the 10-cm point. What is the radius of curvature of the convex mirror?
