@mathstudent55
just a typ error
u have marked 22 instead of 20

@christy12345 refer to the diagram drawn by mathstudent55
is very clear
here one of the side conatining th rt angle is 16
and the other side adjacent to rt angle is (44-20)/2 =12

the leg is the hypotenuse of the rt angled triangle formed by sides of length 16 and 12
using pythogoras theorem it come sout to be 20
