Answer:

B

Explanation:

We are given a right triangle with angles 45, 90, and 45

With this type of right triangle, the ratio of the sides are 1:1:square root of 2

We are also given that the hypotenuse is 18

This means that the sides are in the ratio of x:x:x(square root of 2)

Since 18 is the hypotenuse, we can form the equation of-

18 = x(square root of 2)

18/(square root of 2)=x

x= 9 square root of 2

since y=x, y= 9 square root of 2
