Find the missing side measures for the triangle below.

### Problem: Find the Missing Side Measures for the Triangle Below

**Points: 2 Points**

#### Diagram Description
The image contains a right triangle, labeled as follows:
- Vertex **A** at the top left with an angle of 45 degrees.
- Vertex **B** at the bottom left.
- Vertex **C** at the bottom right with an angle of 45 degrees.
- The hypotenuse **AC** has a length of 21 units.

#### Question
1. **Find the missing side measures for the triangle below.**

The problem provides four multiple-choice options for the length of sides **AB** and **BC**.

#### Answer Choices:
- **Option 1:**
\[ 21\sqrt{2} \]

- **Option 2:**
\[ \frac{21}{2} \]

- **Option 3:**
\[ \frac{21\sqrt{2}}{2} \]

- **Option 4:**
\[ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \]

In the given diagram and the setup, it is suggested to use the properties of 45-45-90 triangles to find the missing side lengths.
