Question

In the given figure, $∠ A C B = 90^{o} a n d C D ⊥ A B$ .

Prove that $\frac{B C^{2}}{A C^{2}} = \frac{B D}{A D}$ .

Open in App

Solution

On $△ A B C$ and $△ A C D$

$∠ A C B = ∠ C D A,$
$∠ C D A = ∠ C A B$

ΔABC and ΔACD are similar

$\frac{A C}{A B} = \frac{A D}{A C}$

$A C^{2} = A B \times A D$

Similarly, ΔBCD and ΔBAC are similar.

$\frac{B C}{B A} = \frac{B D}{B C}$

$B C^{2} = B A \times B D$

$\frac{B C^{2}}{A C^{2}} = \frac{A B \times B D}{A B \times A D}$

$∴ \frac{B C^{2}}{A C^{2}} = \frac{B D}{A D}$
