In △ A B C \triangle ABC △ A B C , E E E is the midpoint of side B C BC B C and D D D is on side A C AC A C .
If the length of A C AC A C is 1 1 1 and ∡ B A C = 60 ∘ , ∡ A B C = 100 ∘ , ∡ A C B = 20 ∘ \measuredangle BAC = 60^\circ, \measuredangle ABC = 100^\circ, \measuredangle ACB = 20^\circ ∡ B A C = 6 0 ∘ , ∡ A B C = 10 0 ∘ , ∡ A C B = 2 0 ∘ and
∡ D E C = 80 ∘ \measuredangle DEC = 80^\circ ∡ D E C = 8 0 ∘ , then the area of △ A B C \triangle ABC △ A B C plus twice the area of △ C D E \triangle CDE △ C D E equals
