Explanation:

Step1: Identify Triangle Type

The triangle is a right - isosceles triangle (one angle is \(45^{\circ}\), one is \(90^{\circ}\), so the third angle is also \(45^{\circ}\)). In a right - isosceles triangle, the legs are equal (\(m = n\)) and the hypotenuse \(h\) is related to the leg \(l\) by \(h=l\sqrt{2}\), or \(l=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2}}\).

Step2: Apply the Formula for Legs

Given the hypotenuse \(h = 3\). Using the formula \(l=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2}}\) (where \(l\) is the length of each leg, \(m\) and \(n\) in this case).
