Answer:

L = 5√10

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

(10√3)² = L² + (5√2)²

300 = L² + 50 . . . . . . . . . evaluate the squares

L² = 300 -50 = 250 . . . . subtract 50

L = √250 = (√25)(√10) . . . . take the square root and factor for simplification

L = 5√10
