Answer:
y = 6√(2)

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of x = 6 since the two legs of a 45-45-90 triangle are always the same length. This triangle is isosceles.

The hypotenuse of any 45-45-90 triangle is exactly
√(2) times larger compared to the leg length.

This means,


y = x√(2)\\\\y = 6√(2)

--------------

We can use the pythagorean theorem to confirm this


a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\6^2 + x^2 = y^2\\\\6^2 + 6^2 = y^2\\\\72 = y^2\\\\y^2 = 72\\\\y = √(72)\\\\y = √(36*2)\\\\y = √(36)*√(2)\\\\y = 6√(2)\\\\
