\nTo find $x$ we can use Pythagoras' Theorem:
\n$x^2+\\var{lent22}^2=\\var{lent21}^2$

\n$x=\\sqrt{\\var{lent21}^2-\\var{lent22}^2}=\\var{precround({ans22},2)}$ mm
\n\nTo find $y$ we can use trigonometry as follows:
\n$\\sin(Y) = \\frac{\\var{lent22}}{\\var{lent21}}$
\nTherefore:
\n$Y = \\sin^{-1}(\\frac{\\var{lent22}}{\\var{lent21}})=\\var{precround({ans21},2)}$

(b)
\nTo find $X$ we can use trigonometry as follows:
\n$\\cos(X) = \\frac{\\var{lent11}}{\\var{lent12}}$
\nTherefore:
