Answer:


d=10

Explanation:

Pythagorean theorem:


d^2+d^2=10√(2)^2,\\2d^2=200,\\d^2=100,\\d=\boxed{10}

Alternative:


\cos 45^(\circ)=(d)/(10√(2)),\\(√(2))/(2)=(d)/(10√(2)),\\2d=10√(2)\cdot √(2),\\2d=20,\\d=\boxed{10}

Alternative (derived from the Pythagorean theorem):

All 45-45-90 triangles have side lengths
x-x-x√(2), where
x√(2) is the hypotenuse. Since this triangle's hypotenuse is
10√(2), its sides are
10-10-10√(2).
