Start by using trig to find the length of the line LJ

The triangle KJL (big right angled triangle) has been given the following dimensions

Hypotenuse =
8 √(2)
The adjacent angle is 30 degrees

Since we have the hypotenuse and the angle we must use the equation
opposite = Sin(angle) x Hypotenuse

Opposite= sin30 x
8 √(2)

Opposite=
4 √(2)

Therefore line LJ is
4 √(2)


Now look at the smaller right angled triangle (LMJ)

Hypotenuse is the line LJ which is
4 √(2)

The adjacent angle is 45

Since we have hypotenuse and angle we must use the equation opposite = sin(angle) * h

therefore
x=
4 √(2) * sin45= 4
