Answer:

The answer is "
22^(\circ)"

Explanation:

Please find the question image file in the attachment:

In this question,
\angle B =90^(\circ), that is made up of the two complementary angles that are 57 and 3x.

So, the equation is:


\to 57+3x=90\\\\\to 3x=90-57\\\\\to 3x= 33\\\\\to x=(33)/(3)\\\\\to x= 11

In
\Delta ABC:

BC=2x

put the value of x in above then
BC= 2* 11^(\circ) =22^(\circ)
