Given the figure of a right-angle triangle

As shown, the given triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle

The relation between the hypotenuse (h) and the length of one leg (l) is as follows:


h=(√(2))l

As shown, h = 24, and l = x


\begin{gathered} 24=√(2)*x \\ \\ x=(24)/(√(2))*(√(2))/(√(2))=(24√(2))/(2)=12√(2) \end{gathered}

So, the answer will be:


x=12√(2)
