solution:
take the points as given in the figure
Now LHS = AB2+ AC2
= a^2 + b^2 + (a - 2c)^2 + b^2
= a^2 + b^2 + a^2 - 4ac + 4*c^2 + b^2
= 2 a^2 + 2 b^2 + 4 c^2 - 4 ac ......................................................... (1)
RHS = 2 (AD^2 + BD^2)
= 2 [ (a - c)^2 + b^2 + c^2 ]
= 2 [ a^2 - 2 ac + c^2 + b^2 + c^2]
= 2 [ a^2 + b^2 + 2 c^2 - 2 ac]
= 2 a^2 + 2 b^2 + 4 c^2 - 4 ac ......................................................... (2)
eqn (1 ) = eqn(2)
so LHS = RHS
