A concrete example :
In △ A B C , ∣ A C ∣ = ∣ B C ∣ = 7 , ∣ B D ∣ = 7 8 , ∣ B E ∣ = 7 2 , ∣ A D ∣ = 7 4 , ∣ C D ∣ = 7 3 . Let ∠ D E C = α , ∠ C D E = β . Then sin β = 3 sin α , sin ( α + β ) = 2 sin α . This yields cos α = 2 3 ⟹ α = 3 0 ° . So sin β = 3 sin α = 2 3 ⟹ β = 6 0 ° ⟹ β = 2 α . Hence k = 2
