1. **Stating the problem:** We have a right triangle with one angle of 45°.
The side opposite the 45° angle is $3\sqrt{2}$, the hypotenuse is $x$, and the base is $y$.
2. **Recall the properties of a 45°-45°-90° triangle:**
In such a triangle, the legs are equal, and the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{2}$ times the length of each leg.
3. **Given the side opposite 45° is $3\sqrt{2}$, this is one leg.**
Since the legs are equal, the other leg $y$ is also $3\sqrt{2}$.
4. **Find the hypotenuse $x$ using the formula:**
$$x = \text{leg} \times \sqrt{2}$$
Substitute the leg value:
$$x = 3\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2}$$
5. **Simplify the expression:**
$$x = 3 \times \cancel{\sqrt{2}} \times \cancel{\sqrt{2}} = 3 \times 2 = 6$$
6. **Final answers:**
$$x = 6$$
$$y = 3\sqrt{2}$$
