Acording to pythagoras theorem,

[tex]\text{hypotenuse}^2=base^2+height^2[/tex]

Here,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{hypotenuse}=c \\ \text{height}=a \\ \text{base}=a \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore we have,

[tex]\begin{gathered} c^2=a^2+a^2 \\ c^2=2a^2 \\ c=\sqrt[]{2}a \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the proof.
