AD2 = BD {tex}\times{/tex} CD
or, {tex}\frac { A D } { C D } = \frac { B D } { A D }{/tex}
Therefore, {tex}\triangle A D C \sim \triangle B D A{/tex} (by SAS)
or, {tex}\angle{/tex}BAD = {tex}\angle{/tex}ACD;
{tex}\angle{/tex}DAC = {tex}\angle{/tex}DBA (Corresponding angles of similar triangles)
{tex}\angle{/tex}BAD + {tex}\angle{/tex}ACD + {tex}\angle{/tex}DAC + {tex}\angle{/tex}DBA = 180o [sum of angles of ∆]
or, 2{tex}\angle{/tex}BAD + 2{tex}\angle{/tex}DAC = 180o
or, {tex}\angle{/tex}BAD + {tex}\angle{/tex}DAC = 90o
Therefore, {tex}\angle{/tex}A = 90o
