Explanation:

Question 5:

Step1: Recall 45-45-90 triangle ratios

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the legs are equal (\(a = b\)) and the hypotenuse \(c=a\sqrt{2}\). So, to find a leg \(a\) when hypotenuse \(c\) is known, we solve \(a=\frac{c}{\sqrt{2}}\).

Step2: Substitute \(c = 10\) cm

\(a=\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2}=5\sqrt{2}\)? Wait, no, wait the options have \(\sqrt{10\sqrt{2}}\)? No, wait the options: \(\sqrt{10\sqrt{2}}\) cm? Wait no, let's re - check. Wait the hypotenuse is 10 cm. Wait the formula is leg \(=\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\sqrt{2}}\). So \(\text{leg}=\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2} = 5\sqrt{2}\)? But the options given are \(\sqrt{10\sqrt{2}}\) cm, 7 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm. Wait maybe I misread. Wait the hypotenuse is 10 cm? Wait no, maybe the hypotenuse is \(10\) and we need to find the leg. Wait the 45 - 45 - 90 triangle: hypotenuse \(= \text{leg}\times\sqrt{2}\), so \(\text{leg}=\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\sqrt{2}}\). If hypotenuse is 10 cm, then \(\text{leg}=\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2}=5\sqrt{2}\approx7.07\) cm. But the options have 7 cm? Wait no, the first option is \(\sqrt{10\sqrt{2}}\) cm? Wait no, maybe the hypotenuse is \(10\) and the leg is \(\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{100}{2}}=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}\approx7.07\), so the closest is 7 cm? Wait no, the options are \(\sqrt{10\sqrt{2}}\) cm, 7 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm. Wait maybe the question is different. Wait the problem says "Apply the 45 - 45 - 90 Triangle Theorem to find the length of a leg of a right triangle if the length of the hypotenuse is 10 cm". Wait the formula is leg \(=\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\sqrt{2}}\). So \(\text{leg}=\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{100}{2}}=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}\approx7.07\), so the answer is 7 cm? No, 5\(\sqrt{2}\approx7.07\), so the closest is 7 cm? Wait no, the first option is \(\sqrt{10\sqrt{2}}\) cm. Wait maybe I made a mistake. Wait let's calculate \(\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{100}{2}}=\sqrt{50}\), and \(\sqrt{50}\approx7.07\), so the answer is 7 cm? Wait the options are \(\sqrt{10\sqrt{2}}\) cm, 7 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm. So the answer is 7 cm? Wait no, 5\(\sqrt{2}\approx7.07\), so the correct option is 7 cm? Wait no, the first option is \(\sqrt{10\sqrt{2}}\) cm. Wait maybe the hypotenuse is \(10\) and the leg is \(\sqrt{10\sqrt{2}}\)? No, that doesn't make sense. Wait maybe the question is to find the leg when hypotenuse is \(10\) cm, and the correct formula gives us a leg of \(5\sqrt{2}\approx7.07\), so the answer is 7 cm.

Question 6:

Step1: Recall 45 - 45 - 90 triangle ratios

In a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle, hypotenuse \(c=\text{leg}\times\sqrt{2}\). Here, leg \(a = 7\) in.

Step2: Calculate hypotenuse

\(c = 7\times\sqrt{2}=7\sqrt{2}\) m (wait the units are in, but options are in m: 5m, \(7\sqrt{2}\) m, 4m, 10m). So the hypotenuse is \(7\sqrt{2}\) m.

Answer:

for Question 5:
The correct option is 7 cm (assuming the approximation, as \(5\sqrt{2}\approx7.07\)).
