1. **State the problem:** We have two right triangles, ABC and ACD, with given angles and some side lengths. We need to find the missing sides $k$, $m$, $x$, and $y$.
2. **Triangle ABC:** Given angles $\angle B = 45^\circ$, $\angle A = 60^\circ$, and $\angle C = 90^\circ$, and side $AC = 6$.
3. **Use the fact that in a right triangle, the sides relate to angles by sine and cosine:**
- $\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- $\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
4. **Find side $k = AB$ (hypotenuse of triangle ABC):**
Since $AC$ is opposite $\angle B = 45^\circ$,
$$\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{6}{k}$$
So,
$$k = \frac{6}{\sin(45^\circ)}$$
Using $\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$,
$$k = \frac{6}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = 6 \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{12}{\sqrt{2}} = 6\sqrt{2}$$
5. **Find side $x = BC$ (adjacent to $\angle B$):**
Using cosine,
$$\cos(45^\circ) = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{x}{k}$$
So,
$$x = k \cos(45^\circ) = 6\sqrt{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 6 \times 1 = 6$$
6. **Triangle ACD:** Given $\angle C = 30^\circ$, side $AD = m$, and side $CD = y$.
Since $\angle C = 30^\circ$ and $\angle D = 60^\circ$ (because triangle ACD is right angled at $D$), and $AC = 6$ is the hypotenuse of triangle ACD.
7. **Find side $m = AD$ (opposite $30^\circ$):**
$$\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{AD}{AC} = \frac{m}{6}$$
So,
$$m = 6 \times \sin(30^\circ) = 6 \times \frac{1}{2} = 3$$
8. **Find side $y = CD$ (adjacent to $30^\circ$):**
$$\cos(30^\circ) = \frac{CD}{AC} = \frac{y}{6}$$
So,
$$y = 6 \times \cos(30^\circ) = 6 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 3\sqrt{3}$$
**Final answers:**
$$k = 6\sqrt{2}, \quad m = 3, \quad x = 6, \quad y = 3\sqrt{3}$$
