Answer: Choice D

[tex]\frac{9\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]

=============================================

Explanation:

We have a 45-45-90 triangle. If x is the leg length, then y = x*sqrt(2) is the hypotenuse.

Solving for y gets us [tex]x= \frac{y}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{y\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]

In this case, y = 9 is the hypotenuse which then leads to choice D.

------------

Another way to find the answer is to use the pythagorean theorem

a = x and b = x are the two congruent legs

c = 9 is the hypotenuse

Solving a^2+b^2 = c^2, aka x^2+x^2 = 9^2, will lead to [tex]x = \frac{9\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]
