Something is wrong in the descriptive part for your missing diagram.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
( 45 degrees left corner , 35 degrees right corner, and the hypotenuse side of the triangle is 3000ft as stated)
------------------------------------------------------------------

Those angles do not make for a right triangle and so this triangle has NO hypotenuse.

okay, then not a hypotenuse; just the long side is 3000. The angle opposite is 100 degrees. You can use Law Of Sines.
