If this is for a trigonometry class I suggest you learn the SOH CAH TOA rules. Since you said the opposite side I assume you did. So since you have the opposite and want to find the hypotenuse, you have to use the tangent (TOA) formula. So the Tan(45)=O/H=3root2/H... solve for H and you get H = 3root2/tan(45) Hope that helped.
