Answer:

[tex]DE=3\sqrt{2}\ units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In this problem we have an isosceles right triangle (because has two equal sides)

so

Applying the Pythagorean theorem

[tex]DE^2=DF^2+EF^2[/tex]

substitute the given values

[tex]DE^2=3^2+3^2[/tex]

[tex]DE^2=18\\DE=3\sqrt{2}\ units[/tex]
