Answer:

Explanation:

The sides of a 30-60-90 triangle are in the ratio 1:√3:2

The side opposite the 30° angle is (12√6)÷2 = 6/√6.

The side opposite the 60° angle is √3×6/√6 = 6/√2 =3√2.

The sides of a 45-45-90 triangle are in the ratio 1:1:√2

The hypotenuse is 3√2, so the side opposite the 45° angle is 3.

x = 3
