see the picture attached to better understand the problem


we know that

in the right triangle ABC

AB is equal to AC

[tex] AB=AC=6units [/tex]

BC is the hypotenuse


Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

[tex] BC^{2} =AB^{2}+AC^{2}\\ BC^{2} =6^{2} +6^{2} \\ BC^{2} =72\\ BC=\sqrt{72} \\ BC=6\sqrt{2} units [/tex]


therefore


the answer is

the length of the hypotenuse is [tex] 6\sqrt{2} [/tex] units
