Answer 1

24

Explanation:

[Note: Since the image I attached to my answer uses the variable x, instead of solving for x in your problem, we will be solving for ?]

In this problem, we are shown a special type of right triangle, a 45-45-90 triangle. In these special types of triangles, each leg is x while the hypotenuse is x
`√(2)`. Now, looking back at the triangle, 12
`√(2)` is one of our legs, and must be x. This means that if we multiply 12
`√(2)` by
`√(2)`, we will find the length of ?. So, let's do just that!

x = 12
`√(2)`

? = 12
`√(2)` *
`√(2)`

? = 24

So, the unknown length must be equal to 24.
