The following theorem has been attributed to
Apollonius of Perga: In any triangle, the sum of the squares on
any two sides is equal to twice the square
on half the third side together with twice
the square on the median which bisects the
third side. In other words, if BM is a median of a triangle ABC and if AB = c, BC = a, AC = b, and
BM = m, prove that
 .
