1. **State the problem:** We have a right triangle DEF with \(\angle E = 90^\circ\), \(DE = 45\), and \(\angle F = 60^\circ\). We need to find the length of segment \(DF\).
2. **Identify the sides and angles:** Since \(\angle E = 90^\circ\), side \(DF\) is the hypotenuse opposite the right angle.
3. **Use the sine function:** In a right triangle, \(\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\).
4. Here, \(\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{DE}{DF} = \frac{45}{DF}\).
5. Solve for \(DF\):
$$
DF = \frac{45}{\sin(60^\circ)}
$$
6. Recall \(\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), so
$$
DF = \frac{45}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = 45 \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{90}{\sqrt{3}}.
$$
7. Rationalize the denominator:
$$
DF = \frac{90}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{90\sqrt{3}}{3} = 30\sqrt{3}.
$$
**Final answer:** The length of segment \(DF\) is \(30\sqrt{3}\).
