Find x.

Identify the given information

We are given a right triangle with a 45° angle and a side of length 6 opposite to the other 45° angle. The side adjacent to the given angle is labeled x.

Use trigonometric ratios

Since we have a 45-45-90 triangle, the two legs are congruent. The leg opposite the 45° angle has length 6. Therefore, the other leg, x, also has length 6.

\\( \boxed{x = 6} \\)

\\(\boxed{x = 6}\\)
