%2826%2F2%29=13cm....ANSWER
description: you have an object, two parallel lines, then image of that object.. since the distance between object and image is 26cm, that distance is divided in four peaces:
here is sketch:
. . .X..object.............from here to image 26cm
. . .| <6.5cm
____________________________-
. . .| <6.5cm
---x-------------------- These lines are x=6.5+%2B+6.5+=+13cm apart
. . .| <6.5cm
