5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
we can identify this as an isosceles triangle because both angles are equal (= 45 deg). Hence we can also conclude that the vertical leg of the triangle must also be "s"
We an also identify this as a right triangle because we have one angle that is 90 degrees. Hence we can use the Pythagorean formula to solve this (see attached for reference)
(5ā2 )Ā² = SĀ² + SĀ²
(5)Ā²(ā2 )Ā² = 2SĀ²
(25)(2) = 2SĀ²
25 = SĀ²
S = ā25
S = 5 units
