Answer:

perimeter ≈ 12.4 units

Explanation:

The side adjacent to the angle is given. The relationships useful for the other two sides are ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

From these, we have ...

opposite = 5·tan(22°) ≈ 2.02

hypotenuse = 5/cos(22°) ≈ 5.39

Then the perimeter is ...

P = a + b + c = 2.02 + 5 + 5.39 = 12.41

The perimeter of ∆ABC is about 12.4 units.
