In the given figure, DB ⊥ BC, DE ⊥ AB, and AC ⊥ BC.
Prove that
Observe in ∆BED & ∆ACB, we have
∠BED = ∠ACB = 90°
Now according to what’s given, DB ┴ BC and AC ┴ BC we can write,
∠B + ∠C = 180°
This clearly means BD ∥ CA
⇒ ∠EBD = ∠CAB [They are alternate angles]
Thus, by AA-similarity theorem, ∆BED ∼ ∆ACB
So,
⇒
Hence, proved.
