Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonal of square = 10

Use special triangles to find the area because a square's diagonal divides the 90 degree angles into 45 degrees

45-45-90 triangle

x   : x   : x√2

1   : 1      : 10

10=x√2

10/√2=x, rationalize denominator and you get 5√2 as the square's side length

Area is s^2, s being the length of a side

(5√2)^2=25*2=50
