a/b =c/d =k,a=bk,c=dk;bkdk/bd =k2(1)
(bk+dk)2 /(b+d)2 =(k(b+d))2/(b+d)2 =k2(b+d)2 / (b+d)2 = k2(2)
từ (1) và (2) suy ra điều cần chứng minh.
\(\text{Ta có:}ac=bd\Rightarrow\frac{a}{b}=\frac{d}{c}=\frac{a+d}{b+c}\Rightarrow\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^2=\left(\frac{d}{c}\right)^2=\left(\frac{a+d}{b+c}\right)^2\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{a^2}{b^2}=\frac{d^2}{c^2}=\left(\frac{a+d}{b+c}\right)^2\)
\(\text{Mặt khác: }\frac{a^2}{b^2}=\frac{d^2}{c^2}=\frac{a^2+d^2}{b^2+c^2}\)
\(\text{Suy ra: }\left(\frac{a+d}{b+c}\right)^2=\frac{a^2+d^2}{b^2+c^2}\)
