Question

AD comma BE comma CF text  are the altitudes of a triangle  end text ABC text . Prove that  end text BD squared plus EC squared plus AF squared equals DC squared plus EA squared plus FB squared

hintHint:

Hint :- Applying pythagoras theorem to both triangles ABD and ADC. find the AD2 from both equations  .Equate both the equations to get the required condition .
Get similarly equations for every altitude and add them

The correct answer is: Hence proved


    Aim  :- Prove that B D squared plus E C squared plus A F squared equals D C squared plus E A squared plus F B squared
    Explanation(proof ) :-
    Applying pythagoras theorem in ΔACD ,We get

    A C squared equals A D squared plus C D squared not stretchy rightwards double arrow A D squared equals A C squared minus C D squared    – Eq1
    Applying pythagoras theorem in ΔABD ,We get

     A B squared equals B D squared plus A D squared not stretchy rightwards double arrow A D squared equals A B squared minus B D squared    —-Eq2
    Substitute Eq2 in Eq1 ,

     A B squared minus B D squared equals A C squared minus C D squared not stretchy rightwards double arrow A B squared minus A C squared equals B D squared minus D C squared    —- Eq3
    Similarly , we get

    A C squared minus B C squared equals A F squared minus F B squared    —- Eq4

     B C squared minus A B squared equals E C squared minus E A squared    —- Eq5
    Adding Eq3 ,Eq4 and Eq5
    table attributes columnspacing 1em end attributes row cell text  We get,  end text not stretchy rightwards double arrow A B squared minus A C squared plus A C squared minus B C squared plus B C squared minus A B squared equals B D squared minus D C squared plus A F squared minus F B squared plus E C squared minus E A squared end cell row blank row blank end table
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow B D squared minus D C squared plus A F squared minus F B squared plus E C squared minus E A squared equals 0
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow B D squared plus E C squared plus A F squared equals D C squared plus E A squared plus F B squared
    Hence proved
