Question

In Figure, O is a point in the interior of a triangle ABC, OD $⊥$ BC, OE $⊥$ AC and OF $⊥$ AB. Show that $O A^{2} + O B^{2} + O C^{2} - O D^{2} - O E^{2} - O F^{2} = A F^{2} + B D^{2} + C E^{2}$ .

Open in App

Solution

From the all the right angled triangles, we get
$O A^{2} = A F^{2} + O F^{2}$
$O B^{2} = O D^{2} + B D^{2}$
$O C^{2} = O E^{2} + E C^{2}$
We have,
$A F^{2} + B D^{2} + C E^{2} = O A^{2} - O F^{2} + O B^{2} - O D^{2} + O C^{2} - O E^{2}$
$⟹ (O A^{2} - O E^{2}) + (O B^{2} - O F^{2}) + (O C^{2} - O D^{2})$ . Hence proved.
