Remark. Note that since triangles DAB 0 and DAB are congruent
as shown above, we can reflect DAB 0 around DA to map onto DAB.
This implies that if triangles EDA and CDB are reflected in the lines
DA and DB respectively, then the reflections of points E and C will
coincide at the foot of the perpendicular from D to AB. From this, the
result also follows easily.
An alternative proof, using trigonometry, is as follows. Denote the
sides of triangle ABD by a, b, d in the usual way, and let x = ED and
y = EA. Then CD = x and CB = d y. Let F be the foot of the perpendicular from D to AB. By Pythagoras theorem we have x2 +y 2 = b2
and x2 +(dy)2 = a2 , which gives a2 = x2 +y 2 2dy+d2 = b2 +d2 2dy.
From the Cosine Rule (or Apollonius theorem) we also have a2 =
b2 + d2 2bd cos A, from which it follows that y = b cos A = AF . Thus
the right-angled triangles DAE and DAF are congruent, as are trianc = 2ADB
