In a right $ \triangle A B C $ right-angled at $ C $, if $ D $ is the mid-point of $ B C $, prove that $B C^{2}=4(A D^{2}-A C^{2})$.
Given:
In a right \( \triangle A B C \) right-angled at \( C \), \( D \) is the mid-point of \( B C \).
To do:
We have to prove that $B C^{2}=4(A D^{2}-A C^{2})$.
Solution:
In $\triangle ADC$, by Pythagoras theorem,
$AD^2=AC^2+DC^2$
$DC^2=AD^2-AC^2$.....(i)
$BC=2DC$ (\( D \) is the mid-point of \( B C \))
$BC^2=(2DC)^2$
$BC^2=4DC^2$
$BC^2=4(AD^2-AC^2)$ (From (i))
Hence proved.
