In \triangleABM, by Pythagoras theorem

AB^2=AM^2+MB^2

AB^2=(AD^2-DM^2)+MB^2

\Rightarrow AB^2=(AD^2-DM^2)+(BD-MD)^2

\Rightarrow AB^2=AD^2-DM^2+(BD)^2+(MD)^2-2.BD.MD

\Rightarrow AB^2=AD^2+(BD)^2-2.BD.MD           

\Rightarrow AB^2 = AD^2 + (\frac{BC}{2})^2 -2(\frac{BC}{2}). MD.=AC^2           (BC=2 BD)

\Rightarrow AD^2 + (\frac{BC}{2})^2 -BC. MD.=AC^2
