Figure 2
Choose the point such that is a square. Let be the point of intersection of and (see Figure 2). Since the lines and are perpendicular, is the midpoint of . Moreover, triangles and are congruent, which gives
Since and , it follows that triangles and are congruent. This implies that
Combining (1) and (2) yields the required equality.
