\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sin\theta=(Perpendicular)/(Hypotenuse)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sin30=(JK)/(HK)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sin30=(22)/(HK)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow HK=(22)/(sin30)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow HK=44

Let's take length of HK = n

By using trigonometry,


  • \sin(30) = (22)/(n)


  • (1)/(2) = (22)/(n)


  • n = 44

Hence, value of HK = 44 cm
