Given
AB = AC
To prove
AB² - AD² = BD × CD
Proof
In ∆ABD & ∆ABC we have:
AD = AD ( common side)
AB = AC ( Given )
<ABD = <ACD ( Opposite angles of equal sides)
So, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ABC {By SAS congruency}
By CPCT, BD = DC ----> (1)
also, <ADB = <ADC
Now, <ADB + <ADC = 180° {Linear pair}
=> <ADB + <ADB = 180°
=> 2<ADB = 180°
=> <ADB = 90°
So, ∆ADB is right angled at <D
By Pythagoras theorem
AB² = AD² × BD²
=> AB² - AD² = BD²
=> AB² - AD² = BD × BD
=> AB² - AD² = BD × CD { from (1) }
Hence Proved
