Part A:

By Angle-Angle Theorem,

Triangle BCA is similar with triangle BDC (∠B ≅ ∠B, and ∠C ≅ ∠D)

Triangle CDA is similar with triangle BCA (∠CBA ≅ ∠DCA, and ∠BCA ≅ ∠CDA)

By transitive property

ΔBCA ~ ΔCDA ~ BDC

Part B:


\begin{gathered} \text{By properties of similar triangle} \\ (b)/(c)=(d)/(b) \end{gathered}

Part C:

Cross multiplying the proportions we have


\begin{gathered} (b)/(c)=(d)/(b) \\ b\cdot b=cd \\ b^2=cd \end{gathered}
