Hello,
If you are starting with the angle of 40 degrees, you have an adjacent side and hypotenuse. Therefore, it is a cosine relationship.
We can write:
cos(40) = adj / hyp
cos(40) = x / 220
To solve for x, simply multiply 220 by the cos(40).
You can write it as: 220 cos(40)
Good luck,

Using the Pythagorean triples, one side is 3 units long, one side is 4 units long, and one side is 5 units long. To find the area of a right triangle, multiply length times width. Then divide total by two.
So,
(3•4)/2= 6 units
After scaling units, you should get 24 units.
