Given that in ΔABC, we have

AD ⊥BC and BD = 3CD

In right angle triangles ADB and ADC, we have

AB^2 = AD^2 + BD^2 ...(i)

AC^2 = AD^2 + DC^2 ...(ii) [By Pythagoras theorem]

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get

AB^2 - AC^2 = BD^2 - DC^2

= 9CD^2 - CD^2 [∴ BD = 3CD]

= 9CD^2 = 8(BC/4)^2 [Since, BC = DB + CD = 3CD + CD = 4CD]

Therefore, AB^2 - AC^2 = BC^2/2

⇒ 2(AB^2 - AC^2) = BC^2

⇒ 2AB^2 - 2AC^2 = BC^2

∴ 2AB^2 = 2AC^2 + BC^2.
