GIVEN A right triangle ABC right-angled at A, {tex}A D \perp B C.{/tex}
TO PROVE AD2 = BD {tex}\times{/tex} CD

 Since {tex}\Delta{/tex} ABD and {tex}\Delta{/tex}ACD are right triangles.
{tex}\therefore{/tex} AB2 = AD2 + BD2 ......(i)
and, AC2 = AD2 + CD2 .......(ii)                              
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
AB2 + AC2 = 2AD2 + BD2 + CD2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} BC2 = 2 AD2 + BD2 + CD2 [{tex}\because{/tex} {tex}\Delta{/tex}ABC is right-angled at A {tex}\therefore{/tex} AB2 + AC2 = BC2]
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} (BD + CD)2 = 2AD2 + BD2 + CD2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} BD2 + CD2 + 2 BD {tex}\times{/tex} CD = 2 AD2 + BD2 + CD2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 2BD {tex}\times{/tex} CD = 2 AD2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} AD2 = BD {tex}\times{/tex} CD
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} Hence, AD2 = BD {tex}\times{/tex} CD.
