\(D\) is a point on the side \(BC\) of \(\Delta ABC\) such that \(\angle ADC = \angle BAC\). Check that \(BC \cdot CD = AC^2\)
 
Proof:
 
Given a triangle \(ABC\) with a point \(D\) on \(BC\) such that \(\angle ADC = \angle BAC\).

Since \(\angle ADC = \angle\)
 
By similarity criterion, \(\Delta ADC \sim \Delta\)
 
Since they have one    and \(\angle ADC = \angle BAC\). 
 
For similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides are equal. 
 
\(\frac{AC}{BC} =\)ii

\(AC^2 = BC \cdot DC\) 
 
Hence proved.
