Question
In triangle ABC, ∠B = 90o and D is the mid-point of BC.
Prove that: AC2 = AD2 + 3CD2.

Solution
In ΔABC
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
as [BC = 2CD]
AB2 + 4CD2 = AC2 ....(1)
In ΔABD,
AD2 = AB2 + BD2 = AB2 + CD2 ....(2)
Subtracting (1) and (2)
AC2 - AD2 = AB2 + 4CD2 - (AB2 + CD2)
AC2 - AD2 = 3CD2
AC2 = AD2 + 3CD2
Hence proved.

In ΔABC, AD is perpendicular to BC. Prove that: AB2 + CD2 = AC2 + BD2
From given figure, In ∆ABC, If AC = 12 cm. then AB =?
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)`
