If the angle is θ \theta , then a b = 3 tan 2 θ ab = 3 \tan 2 \theta , and a c = 3 tan 2 θ tan θ ac = 3 \tan 2 \theta \tan \theta

hence c d = 3 tan 2 θ tan θ 3 cd = 3 \tan 2 \theta \tan \theta - 3

f b = b d f d = b d c d = 3 cos 2 θ 3 tan 2 θ tan θ + 3 fb = bd - fd = bd - cd = \dfrac{3}{ \cos 2 \theta} - 3 \tan 2 \theta \tan \theta + 3

= 3 cos 2 θ ( 1 sin 2 θ tan θ + cos 2 θ ) = \dfrac{3}{ \cos 2 \theta} ( 1 - \sin 2 \theta \tan \theta + \cos 2 \theta )

= 3 c o s 2 θ ( 1 2 sin 2 θ c o s θ c o s θ + cos 2 θ ) = \dfrac{3}{ cos 2 \theta } ( 1 - \dfrac{2 \sin^2 \theta cos \theta } { cos \theta } + \cos 2 \theta )

= 3 c o s 2 θ ( 1 2 sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ ) =\dfrac{3}{ cos 2 \theta } ( 1 - 2 \sin^2 \theta + \cos 2 \theta )

= 3 c o s 2 θ ( cos 2 θ + cos 2 θ ) = 6 =\dfrac{3}{ cos 2 \theta } ( \cos 2 \theta + \cos 2 \theta ) = \boxed{6}
