Solution

From the triangle BDC.
${B C}^{2} = {B D}^{2} + x^{2} . . . (i)$
and
From the triangle ABD
${A B}^{2} = {B D}^{2} + {16 x}^{2} . . . (i i)$
From the triangle ABC
${A B}^{2} + {B C}^{2} = {A C}^{2} . . . (i i i)$
Thus substituting in (iii) from (i) and (ii),
${B D}^{2} + x^{2} + {B D}^{2} + 16 x^{2} = (25 x^{2}) 2 {B D}^{2} = 8 x^{2} {B D}^{2} = 4 x^{2} B D = 2 x$
hence
$B D = 2 C D$
