the diagonal of the square creates two $45^{\circ}-45^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$ triangles. the legs of the triangles are the sides of the square.

you know the length of the hypotenuse and need to find the length of the legs.

$h = l\sqrt{2}$

$10 = x\sqrt{2}$

write your answer in the form of sqrt(___) with no spaces.

the sides of the square all measure
