Using trigonometric functions :
From the problem, we have a hypotenuse of 22.25 cm and an angle of 31°28'
To find A, we will use the sine function :
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin 31^{\circ}28^{\prime}=\frac{A}{22.25} \\ A=22.25\sin 31^{\circ}28^{\prime} \\ A=11.615 \end{gathered}[/tex]To find B, we will use the cosine function :
[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos 31^{\circ}28^{\prime}=\frac{B}{22.25} \\ B=22.25\cos 31^{\circ}28^{\prime} \\ B=18.978 \end{gathered}[/tex]The total length is the sum of A and B :
A + B = 11.615 + 18.978 = 30.59
The answer is 30.59 cm
