$$\alpha+\beta+\gamma=\mathrm{180}°\wedge\gamma=\mathrm{90}°\:\Rightarrow\:\beta=\mathrm{90}°−\alpha \\ $$$$\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha}=\frac{{b}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\beta}=\frac{{c}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\gamma} \\ $$$$\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha}=\frac{{b}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\mathrm{90}°−\alpha\right)}=\frac{{c}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{90}°} \\ $$$$\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha}=\frac{{b}}{\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha}={c} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{a}={c}\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha\:\wedge\:{b}={c}\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha \\ $$$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} ={c}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\alpha\:+{c}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\alpha\:= \\ $$$$={c}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\alpha\:+\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\alpha\right)={c}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ | ||
