A geometry problem by Sanyam Garg

Geometry Level 3

Isosceles A B C \triangle ABC has sides A B = A C = 2008 AB=AC=2008 . Equilateral A D C \triangle ADC is drawn on A C AC outside A B C \triangle ABC with A D AD parallel to B C BC . The bisector of D \angle D meets A B AB at E E . What is the length of B E BE ?

The completed diagram looks as follows:

Now, we see that A B C D ABCD forms a parallelogram, thus B = E B E ˉ = 0 B=E \implies \boxed{\bar{BE} = 0}

Great bro!

From the given conditions of the problem, A B C \triangle {ABC} is equilateral. Hence A B C D ABCD is a parallelogram, and D E \overline {DE} is a diagonal. So E E coincides with B B , and B E = 0 |\overline {BE}|=\boxed 0 .

Yes buddy you are right!
