The measures of the angles of a triangle add to 180.
45 + 45 + 90 = 180
The measures of these three angles do add to 180, ,so there is at least one triangle with these angle measures.
Using AA triangle similarity, any triangle with the same angle measures will be similar.
From the figure you already see two triangles with angles 45-45-90. There is an infinite number of triangles with those angle measures.

A = p q / 2
p = diagonal 1
q = diagonal 2
2A / q = p
Solve for p
180/18 = 10
A right triangle has one leg with unknown length, the other leg with length of 5 m, and the hypotenuse with length 13 times sqrt 5 m.
We can use the Pythagorean formula to find the other leg of the right triangle.
a²+b²=c²
Where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
According to the given problem,
one leg: a= 5m and hypotenuse: c=13√5 m.
So, we can plug in these values in the above equation to get the value of unknown side:b. Hence,
5²+b²=(13√5)²
25 + b² = 13²*(√5)²
25 + b² = 169* 5
25+ b² = 845
25 + b² - 25 = 845 - 25
b² = 820
b =√ 820
b = √(4*205)
b = √4 *√205
b = 2√205
b= 2* 14.32
b = 28.64
So, b= 28.6 (Rounded to one decimal place)
Hence, the exact length of the unknown leg is 2√205m or 28.6 m (approximately).
