How to snap to an intersection with pivot point?

I am pivoting on the top of triangle, but want the end of that line to snap to the horizontal line on the bottom. 

Once zoomed in closer, you realize it is not exactly on the line.

  I don't think CLO has that functionality. Other CAD software like PAD System has a function that allows you to draw a line that is longer than you need and then change the length of the line but move the end point only in the X-Axis which will have that point touching the other line.

  Oh darn, I forgot to mention that vertical leg of the triangle & the diagonal line is a fixed length. Which is why I keep rotating via that point to get it to match up exactly.

  The horizontal line length can be changed

  Yes, I understand what you are trying to do. That is why I say it can only be eye balled in CLO, other software can do it like I said above (changing the length but constraint the length change to only moving in the X axis) or you can do some old trigonometry calcs to find the base of your triangle b given a known height a and the length of the diagonal c.

  a^2+b^2=c^2

  b=sqrt(c^2-a^2) where c=11.580 and I guess you know a.
