Answer
The pictorial form of the given problem is as follows,
Pythagoras theorem states that in a right$-$angled triangle,
the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the remaining two sides.
First, we consider the $\triangle A B M$ and applying Pythagoras theorem we get,
$AM ^2= AB + BM ^2$
$A B^2=A M^2-B M^2\dots ......(i)$
Now, we consider the $\triangle A B C$ and applying Pythagoras theorem we get,
$A C^2=A B^2+B C^2$
$A B^2=A C^2-B C^2\dots ......(ii)$
From $(i)$ and $(ii)$ we get,
$A M^2 \cdot B M^2=A C^2-B C^2$
$ A M^2+B C^2=A C^2+B M^2$
Hence Proved
