Answer:

its sqrt (50)

Explanation:

The triangle has a right angle, therefore we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse. According to the theorem the sum of the squares of both other sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

We have 5^2+5^2=c^2

=> 25+25=c^2

=> 50=c^2

Therefore c or the missing side is equal to sqrt(50)
