Hi blertta,

There isn't enough information. Is ABC is a right triangle ?

no, thats not given

i dont know if the center of the circle outwritten to the base is the point where KH touch the base because if yes these formulas might be useful a/sinx=2R and then R=abc/4S

Hello again blertta,

Let's change x to 60 degrees. I believe that solves the problem. You do the calcs.
