By using the Pythagorean theorem, we know 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 two legs. Let the length of the unknown leg be x.
So, using the given information, we can write the equation:
11^2 + x^2 = 22^2
121 + x^2 = 484
x^2 = 484 - 121
x^2 = 363
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
x = √363
x ≈ 19.06
Therefore, the length of the other leg is approximately 19.06.
