Join AO, BO, CO

In \triangle AOF, by Pythagoras theorem,

OA^2=OF^2+AF^2..................1

In \triangle BOD, by Pythagoras theorem,

OB^2=OD^2+BD^2..................2

In \triangle COE, by Pythagoras theorem,

OC^2=OE^2+EC^2..................3

Adding equation 1,2,3,we get

OA^2+OB^2+OC^2=OF^2+AF^2+OD^2+BD^2+OE^2+EC^2\Rightarrow OA^2+OB^2+OC^2-OD^2-OE^2-OF^2=AF^2+BD^2+EC^2....................4

Hence proved
