In right triangles {tex}\triangle{/tex}ODB and {tex}\triangle{/tex}ODC, we have
OB2 = OD2 + BD [ Using Pythagoras Theorem] 
and, OC2 = OD2 + CD2
​​​​
Subtracting them, we get
{tex}\therefore{/tex} OB2 - OC2 = (OD2 + BD2) - (OD2 + CD2)
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} OB- OC2 = BD- CD2 ...(i)
Similarly, we have
OC- OA2 = CE2 - AE2 ....(ii) [ Using Pythagoras Theorem In {tex}\triangle {/tex}AOE and {tex}\triangle {/tex}COE] 
and, OA2 - OB2 = AF2 - BF2 ...(iii) [ Using Pythagoras Theorem In {tex}\triangle{/tex} AOF and {tex}\triangle {/tex}BOF] 
Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
(OB2 - OC2) + (OC2 - OA2) + OA2 - OB2) = (BD2 - CD2) + (CE2 - AE2) +(AF2 - BF2)
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} (BD2 + CE2 + AF2) - (AE2 + CD2 + BF2) = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} AF2 + BD2 + CE2 = AE2 + BF2 + CD2
​​​​​Hence Proved
