Answer:

Final answer is E. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply Pythagorean theorem to the given right triangle.

[tex]\left(Hypotenuse\right)^2=\left(Leg_1\right)^2+\left(Leg_2\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]\left(h\right)^2=\left(5\sqrt{2}\right)^2+\left(5\sqrt{2}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]\left(h\right)^2=50+50[/tex]

[tex]\left(h\right)^2=100[/tex]

take square root of both sides

[tex]h=10[/tex]

Hence final answer is E. 10

ANSWER

E. 10

EXPLANATION

Using Pythagoras Theorem, which says the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of squares of the two shorter legs.

[tex] {h}^{2} = {(5 \sqrt{2} )}^{2} + {(5 \sqrt{2} )}^{2} [/tex]

Evaluate the squares on the RHS.

[tex] {h}^{2} = 25 \times 2 + 25 \times 2[/tex]

[tex] {h}^{2} = 50 + 50[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex] {h}^{2} = 100[/tex]

Take positive square root.

[tex]h = \sqrt{100} [/tex]

[tex]h = 10[/tex]

The hypotenuse is 10 units.

The correct answer is E
