First, we want to work out the angles in the triangles.
We know the bottom left is 47, this means that the other angle in the large triangle must be 43
180 - 90 - 47 = 43
To complete the right angle, the second angle at the top must be 47
90 - 43 = 47
This leaves angle B as 43
Now that we know the angles, we need to label the smaller triangle with the hypotenuse, the adjacent and the opposite.
The Hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle (AB)
We can use the angle of 47 (B) to work out length AB
Opposite 47 is the vertical line
Leaving adjacent as the horizontal line
We know what the adjacent is and want to know the hypotenuse
SOH CAH TOA
Cos(...) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Fill in what we know
Cos (47) = 22/Hyp
We can rearrange the formula to find the hyp
22/cos(47) = hyp
