D is a point on the side BC of a triangle ABC such that $\angle ADC = \angle BAC$, prove that $CA^2 = CB.CD$

Sol. In $\Delta ABC$, D is a point on side BC such that $\angle ADC = \angle BAC$ In $\Delta CBA$ and $\Delta CDA$ $\angle C = \angle C$ (common) $\angle BAC = \angle ADC$ (given) $\therefore \Delta CBA \sim \Delta CAD$ (By AA similarity) $\therefore$ their corresponding sides are proportional $\frac{CB}{CA} = \frac{CA}{CD} \Rightarrow CA^2 = CB.
