Answer
Given: A quadrilateral $ABCD$ where $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{D}=90^\circ.$
To prove: $AC^2 + BD^2 = AD^2 + BC^2$
Construction: Extend $AB$ and $CD$ to intersect at $O$.
Proof: In $\triangle\text{AOD, }\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{O}+\angle\text{D}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{O}=90^\circ\ [\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{D}=90^\circ]$
Apply Pythagoras Theorem in $\triangle\text{AOC}$ and $\triangle\text{BOD},$
$AC^2 = AO^2 + OC^2$
$BD^2 = OB^2 + OD^2$
$\therefore$ $AC^2 + BD^2 = (AO^2 + OD^2) + (OC^2 + OB^2)$
$\Rightarrow AC^2 + BD^2 = AD^2 + BC^2$

$BD^2 = OB^2 + OD^2$
$\therefore$ $AC^2 + BD^2 = (AO^2 + OD^2) + (OC^2 + OB^2)$
$\Rightarrow AC^2 + BD^2 = AD^2 + BC^2$
This proves the given relation.
