Given ; ABC is a triangle in which ∠ BAC = 90° and DEFG is a square.
Proof :
In Δ AGF and Δ DBG,
∠ AGF = ∠ GBD (Corresponding angles)
∠ GAF = ∠ BDG = 90° each
∴ Δ AGF ~ ΔDBG .....(1)
Similarly, Δ AFG ~ Δ ECF (AA similarity) ....(2)
From (1) and (2), we get
Δ DBG ~ Δ ECF
⇒ BD/EF = BG/FC = DG/EC
BD/EF = DG/EC
EF × DG = BD × EC ....(3)
Also DEFG is a square ⇒ DE = EF = FG = DG ....(4)
From (3) and (4), we get
DE² = BD × EC
Hence proved.
