Great Sir!    Please just replace α instead γ

I found another way to solve it, but it′s very   annoying and boring   (√(39− 10y −y^2 )) + (√(9−y^2 ))= 2(√(14))     ; y is the same dis. 3 cos β _(For the 1st chord)    So, and on here using cosine laws is better   than Pythagoras one   Here cosine laws are as the magical solution!
