A toddler’s playground has two slides on either side. The slide on the left is situated at a 45° angle to the ground and is 68 centimeters away from the base of the playground. The slide on the right is positioned at a 30° angle to the ground and is 112 centimeters away from the playground’s base. What is the total length of both slides on this playground rounded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter?

cos 45 = 68/x 
-> x = 68/ cos45 = 96.15 cm
cos30 = 112/y 
-> y = 112 / cos30 = 224 cm
=> Total length: 320.15 cm
