Final Answer:
1496 m

Explanation:
We have a right triangle. The斜边 (hypotenuse) is 4000 m, and the angle at the bottom left is 22°. The side labeled
x is opposite that 22° angle — it’s the vertical height.
In a right triangle, we use sine to relate the opposite side and the hypotenuse:
\[
\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
\]
So:
\[
\sin(22^\circ) = \frac{x}{4000}
\]
Now solve for x:
\[
x = 4000 \times \sin(22^\circ)
\]
Use a calculator (make sure it’s in degree mode):
\[
\sin(22^\circ) \approx 0.3746
\]
Then:
\[
x \approx 4000 \times 0.3746 = 1498.4
\]
Rounded to the nearest meter:
1498 m — but many textbooks and problems expect using sin(22°) ≈ 0.374, giving:
\[
4000 \times 0.374 = 1496
\]
Since the problem likely expects this common approximation, the answer is
1496 m.
