    You have to state that angle ABC is a right angle otherwise triangle EBC and the constructed congruent triangle FBC do not give a straight line EBF which is necessary for you to apply angle bisector theorem on triangle CEF. Moreover, angle ABC being a right angle is necessary for use of tangent ratio in an alternative method for solution.

    Agree. I assumed that ABC was a right angle also. And I used the alternative solution you refer to; Used the angle bisector theorem to get length CB. Then calculated tanx and tan2x assuming B is a right angle. Then used tan sum formula to get AB.

    The tangent sum of angles formulas may be used to solve this problem. Let length BC = h. Then, tan(α) = 15/h, tan(2α) = 35/h and tan(3α) = (x + 35)/h. First, apply the tangent double angle formula tan(2α) = (2 tan(α))/(1 - tan²(α)): 35/h = (30/h)/(1 - (15/h)²). Solving for h, we get h² = 1575 and h = 15√7. Now the tangent sum of angles formula tan(α + ß) = (tan(α) + tan(ß))(1 - tan(α)tan(ß)) is used. Let ß = 2α, then tan(3α) = (15/h + 35/h))(1 - (15/h)(35/h)) = (50/h)/(1 - 525/h²). However, (x + 35)/h = tan(3α), so (x + 35)/h = (50/h)/(1 - 525h²) and x + 35 = 50/(1 - 525/h°) = 50/(1 - 525/1575) = 50/(1 - 1/3) = 50/(2/3) = 75. Since x + 35 = 75, x = 40 units, as PreMath also found.

    Let's do some trigonometrie: . .. ... .... ..... Since the triangles BCE, BCD and BCA are right triangles, we can conclude: tan(α) = BE/BC tan(2α) = BD/BC tan(3α) = AB/BC tan(2α) = 2tan(α)/[1 − tan²(α)] tan(2α)/tan(α) = 2/[1 − tan²(α)] (BD/BC)/(BE/BC) = 2/[1 − tan²(α)] BD/BE = 2/[1 − tan²(α)] (BE + DE)/BE = 2/[1 − tan²(α)] (15 + 20)/15 = 2/[1 − tan²(α)] 35/15 = 2/[1 − tan²(α)] 7/3 = 2/[1 − tan²(α)] 7/6 = 1/[1 − tan²(α)] 6/7 = 1 − tan²(α) 1/7 = tan²(α) ⇒ tan(α) = 1/√7 = √7/7 tan(2α) = 2tan(α)/[1 − tan²(α)] = 2*(√7/7)/(1 − 1/7) = (2√7/7)/(6/7) = (2√7/7)*(7/6) = √7/3 tan(3α) = [tan(α) + tan(2α)]/[1 − tan(α)tan(2α)] = (√7/7 + √7/3]/[1 − (√7/7)*(√7/3)] = (3√7/21 + 7√7/21)/(1 − 1/3) = (10√7/21)/(2/3) = (10√7/21)*(3/2) = (5√7/7) tan(3α)/tan(α) = (AB/BC)/(BE/BC) (5√7/7)/(√7/7) = AB/BE 5 = AB/BE ⇒ AB = 5*BE = 5*15 = 75 Finally we can calculate x: x = AD = AB − DE − BE = 75 − 20 − 15 = 40 Best regards from Germany

    In summary, using trigonometry: Let BC = y. Then tan⁻¹(35/y) = 2 tan⁻¹(15/y) ⇒ y = 15√7 ⇒ tan(α) = √7/7 ⇒ tan(2α) = √7/3 ⇒ tan(3α) = 5√7/7 so AB = 75 ⇒ AD = x = 40. PreMath's solution is really elegant! Thank you very much! 🙏

    I propose a trigonometric solution (it is less simple than yours, so less good). I note t in place of alpha We have tan(t) = 15/BC, tan(2.t) = 35/BC , tan(3.t) = (35 +x)/BC Tet's calculate BC first. We know thatv tan(2.t) = (2.tan(t))/ (1 - tan(t)^2), so tan(2.t) = (30/BC)/ (1 - (225/BC^2)) = (30.BC)/ (BC^2 - 225) So we have: 35/BC = (30.BC)/ (BC^2 -225) and then 30.BC^2 = 35.BC^2 - 225.35. That gives BC^2 = 1575 and BC = 15.sqrt(7) Now we know that tan(t) = 15/(15.sqrt(7)) = sqrt(7)/7 and tan(2.t) = 35/(15.sqrt(7) = sqrt(7)/3 We know that tan(3.t) = (tan(t) + tan(2.t)) / (1 - tan(t).tan(2.t)), so tan(3.t) = (sqrt(7)/7) + sqrt(7)/3) / (1 - (sqrt(7)/7).(sqrt(7)/3)) tan(3.t)= ((10.sqrt(7))/21) / (2/3) = (5.sqrt(7))/21. And so, finally (5.sqrt(7))/ 21 = (35 +x)/ BC = (35 +x)/ (15sqrt(7)) 5.sqrt(7).15.sqrt(7) = 7. (35 +x) and 75 = 35 +x, giving x = 40 at the end.

    You are right that angle ABC has to be a right-angle. If it is not a right angle, the construction of congruent triangles EBC and FBC will lead to line EBF not being a straight line and subsequently ECFB is a quadrilateral, not a triangle that is used by Premath for application of angle bisector theorem.

    I did it with tangents. t = tan(alpha) = tan(a) where a = alpha t = 15/h, ht = 15 tan(2a) = 35/h = 2t/(1 - t^2), 2ht = 35(1 - t^2) = 30, 1 - t^2 = 30/35, t^2 = 5/35 = 1/7, t = 1/sqrt(7) tan(3a) = (35 + x)/h = (tan(a) + tan(2a))/(1 - tan(a)tan(2a)) = (t + 2t/(1 - t^2))/(1 - t.2t/(1 - t^2)) = (3t - t^3)/(1 - 3t^2) = (1/sqrt(7))*(3 - 1/7)/(1 - 3/7) = (1/sqrt(7))*20/4 = 5/sqrt(7) = (35 + x)/h Now h = 15/t = 15sqrt(7), (35+x)/h = (35+x)t/15 = (35+x)/(15sqrt(7)) = 5/sqrt(7) therefore 35 + x = 5*15 = 75, x = 40 And after writing this, I see that many others used the same method.

    Thanks for the video but for me it makes things a little easy to understand/imprint when the example picture is close to the dimensions and angles of the calculations. The X in the pic isn't close to 40 in length unless it's an optical illusion. Just checked and thankfully for me my vision isn't screwed, the X along the brown triangle isn't 40 units in the pic.

    If you can find a simple value for BC then you have found a solution to an age old geometric problem that has evaded a solution - how to trisect an angle. This problem only works for one value of BC - what is it?

    tan(α) = 15/h tan(2α) = 35/h tan(3α) = (x+35)/h tan(2x) = 2tan(x)/(1-tan²(x)) tan(2α) = 2tan(α)/(1-tan²(α)) 35/h = 2(15/h)/(1-(15/h)²) 35/h = (30/h)/(1-(225/h²)) 35(1-(225/h²)) = h(30/h) 35 - 225(35)/h² = 30 (35h²-7875)/h² = 30 35h² - 7875 = 30h² 5h² = 7875 h² = 1575 h = √1575 = 15√7 tan(x+y) = (tan(x)+tan(y))/(1-tan(x)tan(y)) tan(2α+α) = (tan(2α)+tan(α))/(1-tan(2α)tan(α)) tan(3α) = ((35/15√7)+(15/15√7))/(1-(35/15√7)(15/15√7)) (x+35)/15√7 = (50/15√7)/(1-(525/1575)) x + 35 = 50/(1-1/3) x + 35 = 50(3/2) x + 35 = 75 x = 75 - 35 = 40

    Sometimes you need to think instead of applying pattern actions. Cross multiplying equal fractions is not always the best way. X/2=(X+20)/3 easy to see that is it X/6=20/3 so X=40 ended up not cross multiplying at all. (If not so easy to see subtract X/3 from both sides). Although extra construction outside of big triangle is clever yea. Other trig methods in comments are not optimal, easier for machines but for humans author’s solution is better I think.

    Shouldn’t we have x/20=20/15? Maybe not.
