From the figure we know that this is a 45-45-90 triangle.
In a 45-45-90 triangle sides are distributed with length that it is \(x-x-x\sqrt{2}\)
Given the side with length 10 is opposite to the 90 degree angle.
\(x\sqrt{2} = 10\)
Therefore, \(x = 10/\sqrt{2}\)
\(x = 2*5/\sqrt{2}\)
\(x = 5\sqrt{2}\)
Since this is an isosceles right triangle with height = base = x = \(5\sqrt{2}\)
we can get the area of a triangle as \(\frac{1}{2}* base * height\)
area = \(\frac{1}{2} * 5\sqrt{2}* 5\sqrt{2} = 25\)

its 45 45 90
Now area is 1/2 * 10/√2 *10/√2
=25
Now area is 1/2 * 10/√2 *10/√2
=25
