Solve for RT.

sin(60) = RS/RT

RS/sin(6) = RT

(2√3)/(√3/2) = RT

4 = RT

Solve for RQ.

tan(45) = RQ/RT

tan(45) = 1

RQ = 1 * 4

RQ = 4

Best of Luck!

we know that
in the right triangle RST
sin 60°=RS/RT-------> RT=RS/sin 60°----> RT=2√3/(√3/2)---> 4
RT=4 units

in the right triangle QRT
RQ=RT-------> by angle 45°
tan 45=RQ/RT-----> RQ=RT*tan 45°
tan 45°=1
so
RQ=RT*1------> RQ=4
hence
x=4

the answer is
x=4 units
