I need one clarification: do you mean the angle is 45° and the opposite side length is 72 (or 72√2)? Your text "72√" is ambiguous.

General result for a 45° angle:
x = hypotenuse = opposite / sin45° = opposite / (√2/2) = opposite · √2.

So:
- If opposite = 72, x = 72√2.
- If opposite = 72√2, x = (72√2)·√2 = 144.

Tell me which value you meant for the opposite side if neither of these fits.
