Another way would be to extend AB to E such that BE=3c. Now it's easy to see that Tr. EAC is isosceles with BD // to altitude from E to AC which gives us: c/4c= 1/((x+1)/2) or x=7

Let AD = AE, E being on DC.
ReplyDeleteBE bisects < ABC, hence c/3c = 2/(x-1) from which we have x = 7

ReplyDeleteSuppose that the point E is symmetric of A with respect to the D. Then BE is the bisector of the angle ABC.Is c/3c=2/(x-1) or x=7.
