To solve this problem, we can use the lens formula, which is 1/f = 1/v - 1/u, where f is the focal length, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance.

Given that the image is 10 times the size of the object, the object distance (u) and image distance (v) will have a ratio of -1:10 because the image is inverted in a converging lens.

We know that the screen (image) is located 8.0 m from the lens, so v = -8.0 m (the negative sign indicates that the image is on the same side of the light source).

We can now substitute v into the ratio to find u: u/v = u/-8.0 m = -1/10, so u = 0.8 m.

Now we can substitute u and v into the lens formula to find f:

1/f = 1/v - 1/u = 1/-8.0 m - 1/0.8 m = -0.125 m⁻¹ - 1.25 m⁻¹ = -1.375 m⁻¹.

Therefore, the focal length of the lens is f = -1/1.375 m⁻¹ = -0.73 m. The negative sign indicates that a converging lens is required.
