### Combining Lenses to Determine the Focal Length

Two converging lenses with focal lengths of 35 cm and 54 cm are combined to create a single lens.

#### Problem Statement - Part A

**Question:** What is the focal length of the combination?

**Instructions:** Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

<div style="display: flex; align-items: center;">
  <div style="margin-right: 15px;">
    \( f_{\text{total}} = \)
  </div>
  <input type="text" size="10" placeholder="Value">
  <input type="text" size="10" placeholder="Units">
</div>

### Explanation of Diagrams and Interface Components

- **Text Input Fields:** Use these fields to enter the calculated value of the combined focal length and its appropriate unit.
- **Submit Button:** Click to submit your response.
- **Request Answer Button:** Click if you need assistance or cannot determine the answer.

Use the lens formula for combined focal length:
\[ \frac{1}{f_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{f_1} + \frac{1}{f_2} \]

Given:
- \( f_1 = 35 \) cm
- \( f_2 = 54 \) cm
