it is something very interesting to solve that by guessing what an angle it can be..
By Law of Cosines on △ A B C , ( 3 − 1 s q r t 2 ) 2 = ( 2 ) 2 + ( 3 ) 2 − 2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 3 cos B
Simplifying ths expression, we obtain that 2 + 3 = 5 − 2 6 cos B
Isolating cos B shows that cos B = 2 6 3 − 3 = 4 6 − 2 so B = 7 5 ∘ .
By Law of Sines, sin 7 5 ∘ 3 − 1 2 = sin C 2 Solving for sin C , we obtain sin C = 2 2 so C = 4 5 ∘ . This also means A = 6 0 ∘ .
Note that B O is the angle bisector of ∠ C B J , and C O is the angle bisector of ∠ B C K , from the definition of the excircle. Thus, ∠ B C O = 2 1 3 5 and ∠ B C O = 2 1 0 5 .
Thus, ∠ B O C = 6 0 ∘ , and ∠ E D F = 2 6 0 = 3 0 ∘ .
Using Heron's formula we get the area of triangle 1.183012702,Now 1/2 * BC * AC sin C=1.183..... solving it we get C=45,and the same way B=75,So JBC=105 that makes OBC=105/2=52.5[when an exterior circle is drawn the exterior angle is bisected] ,similarly OCB=67.5,then BOC=60,and inscribed is 1/2 of central angle so EDF=60/2=30

We know that ∠ B O C = 9 0 ∘ − 2 ∠ A .
Applying Law's of cosine in △ A B C , We have B C 2 = A C 2 + A B 2 − 2 × A C × A B × cos ∠ A .
Substituting the values we get cos ∠ B A C = 2 1 .
Hence ∠ A = 6 0 ∘ .
Therefore, ∠ B O C = 9 0 ∘ − 2 6 0 ∘ = 9 0 ∘ − 3 0 ∘ = 6 0 ∘ .
Therefore, ∠ E D C = 2 1 × 6 0 ∘ = 3 0 ∘
