Question

straight angle A of an isosceles triangle ABC is acute in which A B equals A C text  and  end text B D perpendicular A C and . Prove that
B C squared equals 2 cross times A C cross times C D

The correct answer is: not stretchy rightwards double arrow B C squared equals 2 ∗ A C ∗ C D


    Solution :-
    Aim  :- proveB C squared equals 2 ∗ A C ∗ C D
    Hint :- Using pythagoras theorem, find the length of  side AB and BC .
    Substitute the RHS of B C squared equals C D squared plus B D squared in terms of AC and CD Explanation(proof 
    Using pythagoras theorem,in triangle BDC
    B C squared equals C D squared plus B D squared— Eq1
    Using pythagoras theorem,in triangle BDA                                                                                                      A B squared equals B D squared plus A D squared not stretchy rightwards double arrow B D squared equals A B squared minus A D squared— Eq2
    Substitute Eq2 in Eq1
    B C squared equals A B squared minus A D squared plus C D squared
    Substitute AD = AC - CD (from diagram)
    B C squared equals A B squared minus left parenthesis A C minus C D right parenthesis squared plus C D squared not stretchy rightwards double arrow B C squared
    equals A B squared minus A C squared minus C D squared plus 2 ∗ A C ∗ C D plus C D squared
    text  As  end text A B equals A C left parenthesis text  given  end text right parenthesis text  we get  end text comma B C squared equals A C squared minus A C squared minus C D squared plus 2 ∗ A C ∗ C D plus C D squared
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow B C squared equals 2 ∗ A C ∗ C D
    Hence proved
