Step-by-step explanation:
AD is perpendicular to BC
IN TRIANGLE ADB
ANGLE ADB=90
AB^2=AD^2 +(BC/2)^2.....ALTITUDE OF EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE BISECTS OPPOSITE SIDE
AB^2=AD^2+BC^2/4
4AB^2=4AD^2+BC^2
4AB^2=4AD^2+AB..SIDES OF EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE ARE CONGRUENT
4AB^2-AB^2=4AD^2
3AB^2=4AD^2
HENCE PROVED
PLZ MARK AS BRAINLIEST
