AHSME 1991 Problem 29

    Equilateral triangle ABCABC has PP on ABAB and QQ on ACAC. The triangle is folded along PQPQ so that vertex AA now rests at A′A' on side BCBC. If BA′=1BA'=1 and A′C=2A'C=2 then the length of the crease PQPQ is (A) 85(B) 72021(C) 1+52(D) 138(E) 3\text{(A) } \frac{8}{5} \text{(B) } \frac{7}{20}\sqrt{21} \text{(C) } \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2} \text{(D) } \frac{13}{8} \text{(E) } \sqrt{3}
