1. **State the problem:** We have a right triangle with angles 45°, 45°, and 90°, and the hypotenuse is given as $6\sqrt{2}$ meters. We need to find the length of side $g$ adjacent to one of the 45° angles.
2. **Recall the properties of a 45°-45°-90° triangle:** In such a triangle, the legs are congruent, and the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{2}$ times the length of each leg.
3. **Use the formula relating hypotenuse and leg:**
$$\text{hypotenuse} = \text{leg} \times \sqrt{2}$$
4. **Set up the equation:**
$$6\sqrt{2} = g \times \sqrt{2}$$
5. **Divide both sides by $\sqrt{2}$ to solve for $g$:**
$$\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{\cancel{\sqrt{2}}} = g \times \frac{\cancel{\sqrt{2}}}{\sqrt{2}}$$
$$6 = g$$
6. **Conclusion:** The length of side $g$ is $6$ meters.
**Final answer:** $g = 6$ meters.
