use trigonometry
sin%2845%29=6sqrt%285%29%2Fx
x=6sqrt%285%29%2Fsin%2845%29
x=6sqrt%285%29%2F%281%2Fsqrt%282%29%29
x=6sqrt%285%29%2Asqrt%282%29
x=6sqrt%2810%29
approximately
x=18.97 or x=19

Hello, 

1. Replace your "Slove" by "Solve".

2. The length of the hypotenuse is sqrt%282%29 * the measure of the leg, in this case.

Special Right Triangle
This is a  45-45-90, special right-triangle

With one leg being s, HYPOTENUSE = s+%2A+sqrt%282%29

Therefore, x, or hypotenuse = 6+%2A+sqrt%285%29+%2A+%28sqrt%282%29%29, or highlight_green%28highlight%286+%2A+sqrt%2810%29%29%29
