In ADC
By Pythagoras Theorem
(x + 4)2 = 41 + t2 ……..(ii)
In BDC
By Pythagoras Theorem
(y + 5)2 = 41 +z2 ………(iii)
From (ii) & (iii)

Given, A(G–H) x2 + G(H–A) x + H(A–G) = 0
Put x = 1 in above equation
A(G–H) + G(H–A) + H(A–G) = 0
0=0
 x = 1 is one root (let it be ‘’ and other root be ‘’)
Now using product of roots,
A(A– G)
 =
A(G– H)
H.A – H.G
 1. =
A(G– H)
G2 – H.G
= {A.H = G2 }
A(G– H)
G(G– H)
=
A(G– H)
G
=  1 { as A > G}
