Từ \(\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}\)
=> \(\dfrac{a}{c}=\dfrac{b}{d}\)
=> \(\dfrac{a}{c}\).\(\dfrac{b}{d}=\dfrac{ab}{cd}=\dfrac{a}{c}\).\(\dfrac{a}{c}=\dfrac{b}{d}\).\(\dfrac{b}{d}\) \(=\dfrac{a^2}{c^2}=\dfrac{b^2}{d^2}\) (1)
Áp dụng t/c dãy tỉ số bằng nhau:
\(\dfrac{a^2}{c^2}=\dfrac{b^2}{d^2}=\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c^2-d^2}\) (2)
=> \(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c^2-d^2}=\dfrac{ab}{cd}\)
=> \(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{ab}=\dfrac{c^2-d^2}{cd}\) (ĐPCM)
