Given a right triangle $ABC$, let $H$ be a point on $BC$ such that $AH$ is perpendicular to $BC$. Let $D$ be a point on $BC$ such that $AB = MB$. Let $E$ be the intersection of $CA$ and $AD$. We want to prove that $\angle ADB \sim \angle ABE$. Also, we want to prove that $AE \cdot AD = AB^2$.

1. Problem Description
Given a right triangle , let be a point on such that is perpendicular to . Let be a point on such that . Let be the intersection of and . We want to prove that . Also, we want to prove that .
2. Solution Steps
(1) We are asked to prove that .
We have that is a shared angle.
Also, if , then since is on , this means is not equal to , we are given that is perpendicular to some line .
However, we are not given enough information to prove that .
(2) We want to prove that .
Since , then
Therefore, .
