Answer:

3

Explanation:

If I remember how to solve these questions correctly, if there is a triangle that is 45 degrees, the hypotenuse will be times the square root of 2 of the other two sides (which are equal to eachother). Hope this helped!

Answer:


\cos(45 \degree) = (3 โˆš(2) )/(x) \\ x = (3 โˆš(2) )/( \cos(45 \degree) ) \\ x = 6
