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 52 centimeters away from the base of the playground. The slide on the right is positioned at a 30° angle to the ground and is 98 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? Type the numeric answer only in the box below.

sin45 = 52/x                          sin 30 = 98/y

x = 52/sin45                           y = 98/sin30

hope this helps
