the triangle ABC is both equiangular to the triangle ABD and has the sides about the equal angles proportional.
Therefore
the triangle ABC is similar to the triangle ABD. [VI.Def.1]
Similarly we can prove that
the triangle ABC is also similar to the triangle ADC;
therefore
each of the triangles ABD, ADC is similar to the whole ABC.
