I would like some explaining on what to do please.

Answer 1

I attached a diagram of the theorem.

If you have a 45-45-90 theorem, the hypotenuse is square root 2 times the leg length.

If you have the hypotenuse length on the same type triangle and need the leg length, then divide the hypotenuse by square root of 2.

Answer 2

I still don't quite understand how to do the problem

Answer 3

If the hypotenuse is 5 times square root 6, then divide by square root 2.
