Knowing that it is a right triangle, and that 2 sides are congruent, it is an iscoceles triangle. An iscoceles triangle's sides follow the (1, 1, √2) pattern.
Saying that the legs (the 1) is 5 each
5 x √2 = 5√2
5√2, or 7.07 (rounded) is your answer
hope this helps

We could find the length of the unknown side using pythagorean theorem. The square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
h² = 5² + 5²
h² = 25 + 25
h² = 25 × 2
h = [tex]\sqrt{25 \times 2}[/tex]
h = √25 × √2
h = 5 × √2
h = 5 × 1.414
h = 7.07
to the nearest whole number h = 7
The length of unknown hypotenuse is 7 inches
