Question
In Figure, ABD is a triangle right angled at A and AC ⊥ BD. Show that AD2 = BD × CD
Solution
In ΔDCA and ΔDAB, we have
∠DCA = ∠DAB (Each equals to 90°)
∠CDA = ∠ADB (common angle)
∴ ΔDCA ~ ΔDAB [By AA similarity criterion]
`⇒ (DC)/(DA) = (DA)/(DA)`
⇒ AD2 = BD × CD
Is there an error in this question or solution?
