Solution

$Given : \frac{a}{b} = \frac{b}{c} Let : \frac{a}{b} = \frac{b}{c} = k ∴ a = b k and b = c k Now, LHS = \frac{{(a + b)}^{2}}{{(b + c)}^{2}} = \frac{{(b k + b)}^{2}}{{(c k + c)}^{2}} = \frac{b^{2} {(k + 1)}^{2}}{c^{2} {(k + 1)}^{2}} = \frac{b^{2}}{c^{2}} RHS = \frac{a^{2} + b^{2}}{b^{2} + c^{2}} = \frac{b^{2} k^{2} + b^{2}}{c^{2} k^{2} + c^{2}} = \frac{b^{2}}{c^{2}} LHS = RHS ∴ \frac{{(a + b)}^{2}}{{(b + c)}^{2}} = \frac{a^{2} + b^{2}}{b^{2} + c^{2}}$
