  • Paper
  • Answer

Let ABCABC be an equilateral triangle, and let DD and FF be points on sides BCBC and ABAB, respectively, with FA=5FA = 5 and CD=2CD = 2. Point EE lies on side CACA such that angle DEF=60∘DEF = 60^{\circ}. The area of triangle DEFDEF is 14314\sqrt{3}. The two possible values of the length of side ABAB are p±qrp \pm q \sqrt{r}, where pp and qq are rational, and rr is an integer not divisible by the square of a prime. Find rr.
