Answer:

6\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

In any right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem states:

a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are two legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

Plugging in given values, we have:

12^2+VU^2=18^2,\\144+VU^2=324,\\VU^2=180,VU=\sqrt{180}=\sqrt{36}\cdot \sqrt{5}=\boxed{6\sqrt{5}}
