In, \triangle ADC \, \, and\, \, \triangle BAC,

\angle ADC = \angle BAC             ( given )

\angle ACD = \angle BCA              (common )

\triangle ADC \, \, \sim \, \, \triangle BAC,      ( By AA rule)

\frac{CA}{CB}=\frac{CD}{CA}    ( corresponding sides of similar triangles )

\Rightarrow CA^2=CB\times CD
