	$α + β + γ = 180 ° \land γ = 90 ° \Rightarrow β = 90 ° - α$ $\frac{a}{\sin α} = \frac{b}{\sin β} = \frac{c}{\sin γ}$ $\frac{a}{\sin α} = \frac{b}{\sin (90 ° - α)} = \frac{c}{\sin 90 °}$ $\frac{a}{\sin α} = \frac{b}{\cos α} = c$ $\Rightarrow a = c \sin α \land b = c \cos α$ $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} \sin^{2} α + c^{2} \cos^{2} α =$ $= c^{2} (\sin^{2} α + \cos^{2} α) = c^{2}$
