Of course you made a diagram.
let the distance to the first connection be x
let the distance to the second connection by y
x < y
from the smaller right-angled triangle:
sin55 = x/15
x = 15sin55
from the larger triangle:
sin 63 = y/22
y = 22sin63
distance between the two connection points
= y - x
= .......
