I think you have asked this question twice i have already answered this anyhow here is the proof
in triangle ACD
angle ACD + angle CAD = 90
in triangle ACB
angle CAB + ABC = 90
angle CAB = angle CAD same angle
therefore angle ACD = angle ABC --------------------------------(1)
consider the Triangles
ACD and CBD
angle ACD = angle CBD | angle ABC = angle CBD
angle ADC = angle CDB
so the two triangles are similar
so we have
AD/CD = AC/CB = DC/DB -----------------------------------2)
AD/DC = AC/BC
DC/BD = AC/BC | from 2
multiplying both
AD/DC * DC/BD = AC/BC * AC/BC
AD /BD = AC^2/BC^2 prooved

we know that in triangle ABC AC^2/BC^2=DC^2+AD^2/CD^2+BD^2
