1. **Problem 1:** Given triangle ABC with right angle at B, BC = 10 (hypotenuse), AC = 10\sqrt{2}, find AB.
2. **Formula:** In a 45-45-90 triangle, the sides are in ratio $1:1:\sqrt{2}$ where the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{2}$ times each leg.
3. **Step:** Since BC is hypotenuse = 10, each leg should be $\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}$.
4. Simplify $\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}$ by rationalizing denominator:
$$\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{10}{\cancel{\sqrt{2}}}\times\frac{\cancel{\sqrt{2}}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2}=5\sqrt{2}$$
5. But AC is given as $10\sqrt{2}$, which is twice the leg length, so AB = $5\sqrt{2}$.

1. **Problem 2:** Triangle DEF with right angle at D, DE = 7, DF = $7\sqrt{2}$ (hypotenuse), find EF.
2. Using 45-45-90 ratio, legs are equal, hypotenuse = leg $\times \sqrt{2}$.
3. Given hypotenuse $7\sqrt{2}$, leg = $\frac{7\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=7$.
4. So EF = DE = 7.

1. **Problem 3:** Triangle LOM with right angle at M, angle L = 45°, LM = $6\sqrt{2}$, LO = 2, find OM.
2. Since angle L = 45°, triangle is 45-45-90, legs equal, hypotenuse = leg $\times \sqrt{2}$.
3. Given LM = $6\sqrt{2}$, LO = 2, check if LO is hypotenuse or leg.
4. Hypotenuse should be $6\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2} = 6 \times 2 = 12$, but LO = 2, so LO is leg.
5. Legs LM and LO are $6\sqrt{2}$ and 2, which are not equal, so angle L is not 45° or data inconsistent.
6. Assuming LM is hypotenuse, then legs are $\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=6$, so OM = 6.

1. **Problem 4:** Triangle PQR with right angle at Q, PR = 20, PQ = $20\sqrt{2}$, find QR.
2. In 45-45-90 triangle, hypotenuse = leg $\times \sqrt{2}$.
3. Given PQ = $20\sqrt{2}$, PR = 20, so PR is leg, PQ is hypotenuse.
4. Leg = $\frac{20\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=20$, so QR = 20 (other leg equal to PR).

1. **Problem 5:** Triangle TUV with right angle at U, TU = 11.5, UV = $11.5\sqrt{6}$, find TV.
2. This is not a 45-45-90 triangle because ratio is different.
3. Use Pythagorean theorem:
$$TV=\sqrt{TU^2 + UV^2} = \sqrt{11.5^2 + (11.5\sqrt{6})^2}$$
4. Calculate:
$$11.5^2 = 132.25$$
$$(11.5\sqrt{6})^2 = 11.5^2 \times 6 = 132.25 \times 6 = 793.5$$
5. Sum:
$$132.25 + 793.5 = 925.75$$
6. So,
$$TV = \sqrt{925.75} \approx 30.43$$

1. **Problem 6:** Triangle WXY with right angle at W, angle W = 45°, WX = $15\sqrt{10}$, WY = $15\sqrt{10}$, find XY.
2. Since WX = WY, legs equal, hypotenuse XY = leg $\times \sqrt{2}$.
3. Calculate:
$$XY = 15\sqrt{10} \times \sqrt{2} = 15 \sqrt{20} = 15 \times 2\sqrt{5} = 30\sqrt{5}$$
**Final answers:**
1. AB = $5\sqrt{2}$
2. EF = 7
3. OM = 6
4. QR = 20
5. TV $\approx$ 30.43
6. XY = $30\sqrt{5}$
