    The second equation can be written as:



    From the first equation you have:



    So combining:



    It appears that you have two equations that are inconistent. Please check the first two eqautions as written to verify.

    Oh, sorry, there should have been "+" between all the terms, but it seems there is a problem with the code.

    So, the first equation should have been 28 = sqrt (a + b) and the second one 40 = sqrt ( (20 + a)^ + b^2)
