What a great solution ......... Now that I have seen your solution I feel ashamed on my solution .............. This shows that if you leave a single slack in your question here on Brilliant there are giant math solvers who will catch the achille's heellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll . After seeing your solution I think that it doesn't deserves level 5 .......Although this type of mind has been got only by you people
Great solution !! Btw how did you got inspired to extend GE to F ??

When extend GE to meet side AB at point "F" , then point "E" is the point of intersection of angle bisector AD & line GF. Therefore, <GED = <FEA (vertical angles)
sinse EG // AC ---> <GED = <CAD ---> <FEA = <CAD = <BAD
i have done the same question by first finding the length of AD then of ED and then applied similar triangle on triangle ADC and triangle EDG but my answer was 1.077383711 please help and correct me where i was wrong ......

From procedure of my solution : BD = 13 , DC = 15
AD^2 = AB AC - BD DC ---> AD = 3*sqrt65
Applying cosine law for Tr.BAC ---> cosA = 33/65 ---> cos(A/2) = 7*sqrt65 /65
AE = AB cos(A/2) = 14 sqrt65 /5
ED = AD - AE = sqrt65 /5
In Tr.DCA : DG/DC = DE/DA
DG = DC DE/DA = 15 (sqrt65 /5) /(3*sqrt65) = 1

thanks sir there was somekind of silly mistake that i made and thanks for the solution...:)
Given - A triangle ABC in which AB = 26 , BC = 28 , CA = 30 . AD is the internal angle bisector of angle A . BE is perpendicular from B to AD . G is a point on BC such that EG || CA . To Find :- DG .
Construction :- Draw AF perpendicular to BC .
AD is the angle bisector of angle A . .'. BD:DC = AB : AC { By angle bisector theorem }
=> BD : DC = 26 : 30 = 13 : 15 And, also BD + DC = BC = 28
So, BD =

* 28 = 13
.'.
DC = BC - BD =28 - 13 = 15
In the adjoining figure , Ar. triangle ABC = 336 { Calculate it using Heron's formula } => 1/2 * BC * AF = 336 => 1/2 * 28 * AF = 336 => AF = 24
In right angled triangle AFB , BF^2 = AB^2 - AF^2 {by Pythagoras' theorem}
=> BF = √(26^2 - 24^2) = √(100) = 10
Now , DF = BD - BF = 13 - 10 = 3
In right triangle AFD , AD^2 = AF^2 + DF ^2 {by Pythagoras' theorem} AD = √(24^2 + 3^2) = √(585)
.'. Ar. triangle ABD = 2 1 * AF * BD = 2 1 * 24 * 13 = 156
=> 1/2 * AD*BE = 156 { '.' AREA OF TRIANGLE ABD = 1/2 *AD *BE }
=> 1/2 * √585 * BE = 156 => BE = √ 5 8 5 3 1 2
In right triangle BED, ED^2 = BD^2 - BE^2 { by Pythagoras' theorem}
ED = √(13^2 -

Now in triangle ACD , GE || CA .'. A D E D = C D D G { by sir Thales' theorem} => √ 5 8 5 1 . 6 1 2 4 5 1 5 4 9 7 = 1 5 D G => DG = 1
.................................................................................................................................................................. by Vishwash But the one which is below (by sir ahmad saad) is the best .
C o s A = 2 ∗ c ∗ b c 2 + b 2 − a 2 . A E = c ∗ C o s ( 2 1 ∗ C o s − 1 A ) = 2 2 . 5 7 4 3 . D C = 2 6 + 3 0 2 8 ∗ 3 0 = 1 5 . ∴ B D = 2 8 − 1 5 = 1 3 . C o s B = 2 ∗ 2 6 ∗ 2 8 2 6 2 + 2 8 2 − 3 0 2 . A D = A B 2 + B D 2 − 2 ∗ A B ∗ B D ∗ C o s B = 2 6 2 + 1 3 2 − 2 ∗ 2 6 ∗ 1 3 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 6 ∗ 2 8 2 6 2 + 2 8 2 − 3 0 2 = 2 4 . 1 8 6 7 7 . Δ A D C Δ E D G . ⟹ D G = A D D C ∗ D E = A D 1 5 ∗ ( A D − A E ) = 1 . 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 4 5 5
AD is the internal angle bisector from A to BC , not a median.
