1. **Problem statement:**
Find the missing side length, area, and perimeter of a right isosceles triangle with one leg length $\sqrt{2}$ meters and one angle of 45°.
2. **Identify the triangle type and properties:**
Since the triangle has a right angle and a 45° angle, it is a 45°-45°-90° triangle, which is an isosceles right triangle.
3. **Use the 45°-45°-90° triangle side ratio rule:**
The sides are in the ratio $1:1:\sqrt{2}$, where the legs are equal and the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{2}$ times a leg.
4. **Find the missing side lengths:**
Given one leg $= \sqrt{2}$ meters, the other leg is also $\sqrt{2}$ meters.
The hypotenuse $h$ is:
$$
h = \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2 \times 2} = \sqrt{4} = 2
$$
5. **Calculate the perimeter:**
$$
\text{Perimeter} = \text{leg}_1 + \text{leg}_2 + \text{hypotenuse} = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} + 2 = 2\sqrt{2} + 2
$$
6. **Calculate the area:**
Area of a right triangle is:
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{leg}_1 \times \text{leg}_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 = 1
$$
**Final answers:**
- Missing side lengths: other leg $= \sqrt{2}$ m, hypotenuse $= 2$ m
- Perimeter $= 2\sqrt{2} + 2$ m
- Area $= 1$ m²
