Theo đề bài, ta có:
\(\dfrac{a}{b}\)=\(\dfrac{c}{d}\)=\(\dfrac{a}{c}\)=\(\dfrac{b}{d}\)
Áp dụng tính chất dãy tỉ số bằng nhau:
\(\dfrac{a}{b}\)=\(\dfrac{c}{d}\)=\(\dfrac{a}{c}\)=\(\dfrac{b}{d}\)=\(\dfrac{a+b}{c+d}\)=\(\left(\dfrac{a+b}{c+d}\right)^2\)(*)
=> \(\dfrac{a}{c}\)=\(\dfrac{b}{d}\)=\(\dfrac{a^2}{c^2}\)=\(\dfrac{b^2}{d^2}\)=\(\dfrac{a^2+b^2}{c^2+d^2}\)(**)
Từ (*) và (**) suy ra:
\(\left(\dfrac{a+b}{c+d}\right)^2\)=\(\dfrac{a^2+b^2}{c^2+d^2}\)(đpcm)
