In Triangle ABC,  
So, In Triangle BPC:  BC2 = BP2 –  CP2 
Now, In Triangle ABC,
AB2   =  AC2 +  BC2 and  AB2 = AC2 +  BP2 –  CP2    
AB2 = AC2 – CP2 + BP2 
AB2 = (AC - CP) (AC + CP) + BP2
AB2 = (AC - CP) (AP) + BP2 
AB2 = (AC x AP -  CP x AP) + BP2
AB2 = AC x AP + BP2  -  CP x AP
But,  AP x CP = BP x PD (D APB ~ D CPB)
AB2 = AC x AP + BP2 - BP x PD
AB2 = AC x AP + BP(BP – PD)
AB2 = AC x AP + BP x BD
Hence Proved

Aaaaaaaaaa
How are they similar the triangles?
I would appreciate if you could reply at the earliest because I have an exam tomorrow and you system wouldn’t let me post my query /answer if the comment is less than 100 char
