Answer:

3√2

Explanation:

The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is √2 times the side length.

x = 3√2

_____

All these triangles are similar, so the ratio of hypotenuse to leg is the same for all.

hypotenuse/leg = x/3 = (3+3)/x

x² = 3·6 = 3²·2 . . . . cross multiply (identify square factors)

x = 3√2 . . . . . take the square root
