To prove that in triangle \( ABC \), where \( BE \) and \( CF \) are perpendiculars from points \( B \) and \( C \) to sides \( AC \) and \( AB \) respectively, the equation \( BC^2 = AB \cdot BF + AC \cdot EC \) holds, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Right Triangles**: - We have two right triangles: \( \triangle BFC \) and \( \triangle BEC \). - In \( \triangle BFC \), \( BF \) is perpendicular to \( AC \). - In \( \triangle BEC \), \( BE \) is perpendicular to \( AB \). ...
