Respuesta :

The hypotenuse is [tex]c = a\sqrt{2}[/tex]  times the length of each leg 'a'. Triangle XYZ is a isosceles right triangle, therefore the Pythagoras theorem becomes  and this can be evaluated by using properties of isosceles triangle.

According to the statement

we have given that a theorem and we have to prove it.

So, For this purpose,

The given information is :

Isosceles triangle XYZ where [tex]Angle X = 45^{0}[/tex] [tex]Angle Y = 45^{0}[/tex] [tex]Angle Z = 90^{0}[/tex]

Let the sides of triangle XYZ be a, b, and c. Then side XY = c, YZ = b and ZX = a.

Now, it is given that triangle XYZ is isosceles triangle therefore, the shorter sides must be equal that is, a = b.

Now use Pythagoras theorem

[tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

But here a= b then the equation become

[tex]a^{2} + a^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

Then after solving it become

[tex]2a^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

And here we have to find the value of the hypotenuse,

so we solve it for c.

Then

[tex]c = a\sqrt{2}[/tex]

From this it is clear that the

it can be concluded that the hypotenuse is  times the length of each leg 'a'.
