Answer:

r ≈ 44.25 cm

Explanation:

You want the hypotenuse of a right triangle in which the side adjacent to the angle of 57° is 24.1 cm.

Cosine

The cosine relation is ...

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

cos(57°) = (24.1 cm)/r

Solution

Solving for r gives ...

r = (24.1 cm)/cos(57°) ≈ 44.25 cm

The length r is about 44.25 cm.

Additional comment

The calculator shown in the attachment has its angle mode set to degrees.
