$$\mathrm{From}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{circle},\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{get}\:\mathrm{a}\left(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}\right)=\mathrm{DE}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{400} \\ $$$$\mathrm{So},\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{b}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{unique}\:\mathrm{which}\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{get}\:\mathrm{from} \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{additional}\:\mathrm{equation}\:\mathrm{a}=\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{47}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{We}\:\mathrm{get}\:\mathrm{negative}\:\mathrm{b},\:\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{question}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{vague}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{Are}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{b}\:\mathrm{actually}\:\mathrm{side}\:\mathrm{lengths}? \\ $$

$${r}=\frac{{DE}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{10} \\ $$$${EF}={h} \\ $$$${a}=\frac{\pi{r}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}−{c} \\ $$$${b}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{rh}}{\mathrm{2}}−{c} \\ $$$$\frac{\pi{r}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}−{c}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{rh}}{\mathrm{2}}−{c}+\mathrm{47} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{h}=\frac{\pi{r}}{\mathrm{2}}−\frac{\mathrm{47}}{{r}}=\mathrm{5}\pi−\frac{\mathrm{47}}{\mathrm{10}}\approx\mathrm{11} \\ $$
