1. I'm looking for the value of "C". All starting information is in the first attachment.
2. Formulas needed are believed to be Pythagoras theorem and trigonometry.
3. "The attempt at a solution": This would be the second attachment. I've wracked my brain for hours and have come to the conclusion I'm either missing something simple or this will involve more than just geometry and trigonometry. The 2 red triangles were suggested by another user whom I suspect didn't look at it hard enough to realize it didn't get any closer to the solution.
What I do know:
-Sides of rectangle are 60 X 10
-Red triangles are similar
-It is solvable as there is no alternative solutions
-Angles A and B are the same
