Answer:

18

Explanation:

The triangle on the left is a 30-60-90 triangle.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides is:

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

1 : √3 : 2

The short leg of the left triangle is half the hypotenuse.

12√6 / 2 = 6√6

The long leg of the left triangle measures √3 times the short leg.

6√6 * √3

The triangle on the right is a 45-45-90 triangle.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides is:

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

1 : 1 : √2

The length of the leg is the length of the hypotenuse divided by √2.

6√6 * √3 / √2 = 18
