In an equilateral triangle ABC, D is a point on side BC such that BD = 1/3BC. Prove that 9AD2 = 7AB2. Q.15

Given, an equilateral triangle say ABC,
Let the sides of the equilateral triangle be of length a, and AE be the altitude of ΔABC.
∴ BE = EC = BC/2 = a/2
In ΔABE, by Pythagoras Theorem, we get
AB2 = AE2 + BE2
4AE2 = 3a2
⇒ 4 × (Square of altitude) = 3 × (Square of one side)
Hence, proved.
