The length of the median (x) in a right triangle can be calculated by using the formula: x = √(a^2 + b^2) / 2, where a and b are the lengths of the two sides adjacent to the right angle.
Given that the right side has a length of 9, and the median divides it into two equal segments:
x = √(9^2 + 9^2) / 2
x = √(81 + 81) / 2
x = √162 / 2
x = 12√2 / 2
x = 6√2
Therefore, the value of x, the length of the median, is 6√2.
