D is a point on the side BC of $\displaystyle \triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ such that $\displaystyle \angle \mathrm{CAB}=\angle \mathrm{CDA}$. Show that $\displaystyle \mathrm{CA}^{2}=\mathrm{CB} \times \mathrm{CD}$.

Marking-scheme solution
\[\begin{aligned}
& \triangle \mathrm{ADC} \sim \triangle \mathrm{BAC} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{DC}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{BC}} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{AC}^{2}=\mathrm{DC} \times \mathrm{BC}^{\circ} \text { or } \mathrm{CA}^{2}=\mathrm{CB} \times \mathrm{CD}
\end{aligned}
