radii of a lens

I have an optical system of an equiconvex lens and an object located 0.6m from a screen. The object is 0.05m high and it's image is 0.25m on the screen.

I managed to calculate the focal length to f=0.083m by using the fact that the magnification is -5 and the gaussian lens formula, which appears to be reasonable.

The problem is, how do I find the radii of the lens? hmm


Bang postponed. Not big enough. Reboot.
