A round table has radius 44. Six rectangular place mats are placed on the table. Each place mat has width 11 and length xx as shown. They are positioned so that each mat has two corners on the edge of the table, these two corners being end points of the same side of length xx. Further, the mats are positioned so that the inner corners each touch an inner corner of an adjacent mat. What is xx?
