A tennis ball of mass m=0.060Kg and speed v= 25m/s strikes a wall at a 45 degrees angle and rebounds with the same speed at 45 degrees angle. What is the impulse given the wall?

In other words, find the change in momentum of the ball.
Draw a sketch and find the change in momentum. You'll get a right-angled triangle.
This should help you get the answer.
