51 ft on left
x right
45 ft on bottom
51^2 +45^2=2601+2025= 4626 sqrt of 4626= approximately 68 ft if it is a right triangle and the pythagorean theorem is used here

I'm assuming its a right angle triangle based on the fact that you didn't provide any angles and also that x is the hypotenuse. So the easiest way to solve this would be to use Pythagorean Theorem. So in other words
x squared = 51 squared + 45 squared
I think you should be able to solve it from there, after all if i gave you the answer you wouldn't learn a thing lol.

if it is a right triangle, the length of x is 68.01470429 ft.
basically, it is about 68 ft.
BUT THIS IS ONLY IF IT IS A RIGHT TRIANGLE!!!
i got this from 51^2 + 45^2 = x^2.
