the answer:
ABC, ACD and BDC are right triangles that are similar

since the altitude of the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the triangle into two triangles that are similar to the original triangle and to each other, therefore the diagram shows the right triangle similarity theorem,

this means ABC ~ ACD ~ BDC

so the answer is

ABC ~ BDC
