The length of AB & BC are 6. This is because the hypotenuse of a right-isosceles triangle is h2.

From this, you know that ABΞBC and the values are 622=6.

If AB is 6, then 6 is the side of a 30-60-90 triangle or a half-cut equilateral triangle. This would mean that x is half of 6 or x is 3.

I had to write my answer in multiple posts since LaTeX hates me right now. I might be wrong so make sure to double check my work. Good Luck!
