A converging lens has a focal length of 88.50 cm. A 11.0 cmtall
object is located 165.0 cm infront of this lens.

focal length of the lens f = 88.5 cm
height of the object h o = 11 cm
object distance do = 165 cm
Thin lens equation is
1 / do + 1 / d i = 1 /f
1 / 165 cm + 1 / d i = 1 / 88.5 cm
1 / d i = 1 /88.5 - 1 / 165 cm
image distance d i = 190.88 cm = 1.90 m
The image is real image
magnification of the image M = - di / do
= -190.88 / 165 = 1.156
height of the image hi = M h o = 1.156 * 11 = 12.7253 cm
