Answer:

The correct answer is second option

6√2

Explanation:

From the figure we can see a right angled triangle, with angles 45°, 45° and 90°

The height of triangle is 6 units

Points to remember

If the angles of a right angled triangle are 45°, 45° and 90° then the sides are in the ratio, 1 : 1 : √2

To find the value of x

From the figure we can see that, the angles are 45°, 45° and 90°

Therefore the two sides are equal and one side is x

The equal side is 6 units

Therefore 6 : 6 : x = 6 : 6 : 6√2

The value of x = 6√2

The second option is the correct answer.

Answer: second option.

Explanation:

You need to remember the following identity:


sin\alpha=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)

In this case, we can observe that:


\alpha=45\°\\opposite=6\\hypotenuse=x

Now you must substitute these values into
sin\alpha=(opposite)/(hypotenuse) and solve for the hypotenuse. Then:


sin(45\°)=(6)/(x)\\\\(x)(sin(45\°))=6\\\\x=(6)/(sin(45\°))\\\\x=6√(2)
