Consider the incomplete paragraph proof. Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle) Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° triangle, the hypotenuse is StartRoot 2 EndRoottimes the length of each leg. Triangle X Y Z is shown. Angle X Y Z is 90 degrees and the other 2 angles are 45 degrees. The length of X Y is a, the length of Y Z is a, and the length of X Z is c. Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a2 + b2 = c2, which in this isosceles triangle becomes a2 + a2 = c2. By combining like terms, 2a2 = c2. Which final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is StartRoot 2 EndRoot times the length of each leg?
