Correct Answer: AB 2 + CD 2 = BC 2 + AD 2


Solution : According to the question,

Using Pythagoras theorem,
In $\triangle$ABC
AB 2 = AC 2 + BC 2 ...........................................(i)
In $\triangle$ACD
AD 2 = AC 2 + CD 2
AC 2 = AD 2 – CD 2 ...........................................(ii)
Put the value of AC 2 in equation (i)
AB 2 = AD 2 – CD 2 + BC 2
AB 2 + CD 2 = AD 2 + BC 2
Hence, the correct answer is AB 2 + CD 2 = BC 2 + AD 2 .
