Given:-In the adjoining figure D is mid point of side BC of Triangle ABC and AD is the median from A to side BC .and AE is the perpendicular drawn from A to BC.
To Prove:-AB2 = AD2 – BC.DE + ¼ BC2
Proof:- AB2 = AE2 + BE2
AB2 = AD2 – ED2 + (BD –ED)2
AB2 = AD2 – ED2 + BD2 + ED2 -2*BD*ED
AB2 = AD2 – 2*BC/2 * DE + (1/2 BC)2
AB2 = AD2 – BC * DE + 1/4 BC2
