Answer:

See the attached figure which represents the problem.

As shown, AA₁ and BB₁ are the altitudes in acute △ABC.

△AA₁C is a right triangle at A₁

So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = A₁C/AC ⇒(1)

△BB₁C is a right triangle at B₁

So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = B₁C/BC ⇒(2)

From (1) and  (2)

∴  A₁C/AC = B₁C/BC

using scissors method

∴ A₁C · BC = B₁C · AC
