Use the Schmidt decomposition of the bipartite pure state:
(1)
The two reduced density matrices, obtained by partial trace, are
(2)
Their nonzero eigenvalues are identical, even if the two ambient dimensions differ. Zero eigenvalues contribute no Von Neumann entropy, so
(3)
This common Von Neumann entropy is the entanglement entropy of the bipartite pure state.
