Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the other leg:
$$\text{Other leg} = \sqrt{\text{Hypotenuse}^2 - \text{Leg}^2} = \sqrt{22^2 - 11^2} = \sqrt{484 - 121} = \sqrt{363} \approx \boxed{19.03}$$
$$\text{Other leg} = \sqrt{\text{Hypotenuse}^2 - \text{Leg}^2} = \sqrt{22^2 - 11^2} = \sqrt{484 - 121} = \sqrt{363} \approx \boxed{19.03}$$
