| Let us prove that the triangles AOD and BDН are similar.
Both triangles are rectangular, AOD, since the diagonals at the intersection point form a right angle, BDH, since BH is height. The angle D is common for triangles, then the triangles are similar in acute angle.
Let AC = d1, BD = d ^ 2
Then: BD / AD = DH / OD.
d1 / (m + n) = n / (d1 / 2).
d1 ^ 2/2 = n * (m + n).
d1 = √ (2 * n * (m + n)).
From the right-angled triangle AOD, by the Pythagorean theorem, we define the leg AO.
AO ^ 2 = AD ^ 2 – OD ^ 2.
(d2 / 2) ^ 2 = (m + n) ^ 2 – (d1 / 2) ^ 2.
d2 ^ 2 = 4 * ((m + n) ^ 2 – (√ (2 * n * (m + n)) / 2) ^ 2.
d2 = √ (4 * (m + n) 2) – (2 * n * (m + n))).
Answer: AC = √ (2 * n * (m + n)), BD = √ (4 * (m + n) 2) – (2 * n * (m + n))).
