Problem Statement

Let ABCDABCD be a convex quadrilateral, and write α=∠DAB\alpha=\angle DAB, β=∠ADB\beta=\angle ADB, γ=∠ACB\gamma=\angle ACB, δ=∠DBC\delta= \angle DBC and ϵ=∠DBA\epsilon=\angle DBA. Assuming that α<π/2\alpha<\pi/2, β+γ=π/2\beta+\gamma=\pi /2, and δ+2ϵ=π\delta+2\epsilon=\pi, prove that (DB+BC)2=AD2+AC2(DB+BC)^2=AD^2+AC^2.
