Question
In a triangle ABC, AC > AB, D is the midpoint BC, and AE ⊥ BC. Prove that: AC2 = AD2 + BC x DE + `(1)/(4)"BC"^2`

Solution
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)

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
