Correct Answer: $5\sqrt{2}$ and $5\sqrt{2}$


Solution : Given: Hypotenuse of the isosceles right-angled triangle = 10 cm
Let the other two equal sides be $x$ cm.
Now applying the Pythagoras theorem, we get,
$x^2+x^2=10^2$
⇒ $2x^2=100$
$\therefore x=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $5\sqrt{2}$ and $5\sqrt{2}$.
