Question

find the indicated side of the right triangle.
triangle with 45° angle, 45° angle, right angle, one leg labeled 6, other leg x, hypotenuse y
y = ?√□

Explanation:

Step1: Identify triangle type

This is a 45-45-90 right triangle, so legs are equal, hypotenuse \( y = \text{leg} \times \sqrt{2} \).

Step2: Apply formula

Leg length is 6, so \( y = 6\sqrt{2} \).

Answer:

\( y = 6\sqrt{2} \) (so the first box is 6, the second is 2)
