Hello!

To find the value of a r, first we can find the angle R, and then use the law of sines.

The law of sines states: a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C.

In this case, it is also: e / sin E = p / sin P = r / sin R.

1. Find the measure of angle R.

Since triangles are equal to 180 degrees, we add the angle of P and E together, and subtract that from 180, and solve.

45 + 63 + R = 180

108 + R = 180 (subtract 108 from both sides)

R = 72

With the measure of angle R, we can find the length of side r.

2. Use the Law of Sines.

22 / sin 45 = r / sin 72 (multiply both sides by sin 72)

r = 22 sin 72 / sin 45 (simplify)

r = 29.58993...

This can be rounded to 29.59.

Therefore, the length of side r is 29.59.
