    I encountered this problem before but it had choices. If this problem had these choices:

    A) 2 and 5

    B) 3 and 5

    C) 4 and 5

    Then the correct answer is A) 2 and 5.

    We will use the tangent ratio.

    tan Θ = opposite/adjacent

    tan 22° = 2/5

    0.404 = 0.40

    Thus the two numbers that represent the lengths of the legs of the right triangle are 2 and 5.
