In this diagram A B AB A B and A C AC A C are the equal sides of an isosceles △ A B C \triangle ABC △ A B C , in which is inscribed equilateral △ D E F \triangle DEF △ D E F .
Designate ∠ B F D \angle BFD ∠ B F D by a a a , ∠ A D E \angle ADE ∠ A D E by b b b , and ∠ F E C \angle FEC ∠ F E C by c c c . Then:
(A) b = a + c 2 (B) b = a − c 2 (C) a = b − c 2 (D) a = b + c 2 (E) none of these \textbf{(A)}\ b=\frac{a+c}{2} \textbf{(B)}\ b=\frac{a-c}{2} \textbf{(C)}\ a=\frac{b-c}{2} \textbf{(D)}\ a=\frac{b+c}{2} \textbf{(E)}\ \text{none of these} (A) b = 2 a + c (B) b = 2 a − c (C) a = 2 b − c (D) a = 2 b + c (E) none of these
