Answer:

unmarked angle = 45

side opposite unmarked angle = 5√8

hypotenuse = 20

Explanation:

The unmarked angle is 180 - 90 - 45 = 45

The side opposite this new 45 degree angle is also 5√8

The hypotenuse is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = b = 5√8

a^2 = b^2 = 25*8 = 200

200 + 200 = c^2

c^2 = 400

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(400)

c = 20
