the base and the height, and I know the difference between the

lengths of those two sides? need2know wrote:Given this equation:
e = abs(sqrt((a - x)2 + (b - y)2) - sqrt((c - x)2 + (d - y)2))
How can I solve for y if all other variables are known. Hope
that makes it clearer. I assumed a trigonometric solution was
the way to go.
