We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the other leg.
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
Let's call the length of the other leg x.
So we have the equation:
$x^2 + 11^2 = 22^2$
Simplifying, we get:
$x^2 + 121 = 484$
Subtracting 121 from both sides, we get:
$x^2 = 363$
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
$x = \sqrt{363}$
Using a calculator, we find that:
$x \approx 19.06$
Rounded to two decimal places, the length of the other leg is 19.06.
