Answer:

12

Explanation:

SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

so ...

sin(45°) = (6√2)/x

Your memory of trig functions tells you sin(45°) = 1/√2, so we have ...

1/√2 = (6√2)/x

Multiplying by (√2)x gives ...

x = 6(√2)^2 = 6·2

x = 12

_____

You can simply recognize that this is an isosceles right triangle, so the hypotenuse (x) is √2 times the leg length:

x = (6√2)·√2 = 6·2 = 12
