Point P is inside rectangle ABCD . Show that
PA^2 +PC^2 =PB^2 + PD^2.
Be sure that your proof works for ANY point inside the rectangle.
Point P is inside rectangle ABCD . Show that
PA^2 +PC^2 =PB^2 + PD^2.
\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline PA^2 &=& x_1^2+y_1^2 & PC^2 = y_2^2+x_2^2 \\\\ PB^2 &=& y_2^2+x_1^2 & PD^2 = x_2^2+y_1^2 \\\\ \hline PA^2 + PC^2 &=& x_1^2 + y_1^2 +y_2^2+x_2^2 \\ &=& x_1^2 + y_1^2 +x_2^2 + y_2^2 \\\\ PB^2 + PD^2 &=& y_2^2 + x_1^2 +x_2^2+y_1^2 \\ &=& x_1^2 + y_1^2 +x_2^2 + y_2^2 \\ \hline \end{array}\)
