  • Paper

Triangle ABCABC is equilateral with AB=1AB=1. Points EE and GG are on AC‾\overline{AC} and points DD and FF are on AB‾\overline{AB} such that both DE‾\overline{DE} and FG‾\overline{FG} are parallel to BC‾\overline{BC}. Furthermore, triangle ADEADE and trapezoids DFGEDFGE and FBCGFBCG all have the same perimeter. What is DE+FGDE+FG?
