उत्तर
We have ∠AED = 90°
∴ ∠ADE < 90° and ∠ADC > 90°
i.e. ∠ADE is acute and ∠ADC is obtuse.
In ΔADC, ∠ADC is an obtuse angle.
∴ AC2 = AD2 + DC2 + 2 x DC x DE
⇒ AC2 = AD2 + `(1/2"BC")^2 + 2 xx (1)/(2)"BC" xx "DE"`
⇒ AC2 = AD2 + `(1)/(4)"BC"^2 + "BC" xx "DE"`
⇒ AC2 = AD2 + BC x DE + `(1)/(4)"BC"^2` . ....(i)
