The area of triangle ABK is half the square BCHK and also equals the area of triangle CBD which equals half LD × DB.

So BCHK plus AFGC equals AEDB. Perhaps the earliest proof on record is that given by ancient Chinese mathematicians, by some estimates as early as 1100BC, although a more generally accepted date is the 6th century BC.
