How do i go about combine these eqautions.

[Ramsay21]

I know that a and c are equal
How do i go about combine the equations to find the value of c
I've got value for b(50) and h(10) but im not worried the answer, tryna see how someone would go about combine the equations

First, since you know a and c are equal, replace c with a!
\(\displaystyle x= \sqrt{(b-a)^2+ h^2}\) ...........................edited

To go further you need to know what "\(\displaystyle f_1\)" and "\(\displaystyle f_2\)" are! Are they numbers multiplying x and a or are they functions of x and a?

f1 and f2 are numbers multiplying x and a

Now substitute what Prof Halls found for x into the other equation and solve fo c.
