उत्तर
In equilateral triangle AD ⊥ BC.
⇒ BD = DC = `"BC"/(2)` ...(In equilateral triangle altitude bisects the opposite side)
In right triangle ABD,
AB2 = AD2 + BD2
= `"AD"^2 + ("BC"/2)^2`
= `(4"AD"^2 + "BC"^2)/(4)`
= `(4"AD"^2 + "BC"^2)/(4)` ...(Since AB = BC)
⇒ 4AB2 = 4AD2 + AB2
⇒ 3AB2 = 4AD2
Hence proved..
