AMC 12 2016a Problem 12

  • Paper

In △ABC\triangle ABC, AB=6AB = 6, BC=7BC = 7, and CA=8CA = 8. Point DD lies on BC‾\overline{BC}, and AD‾\overline{AD} bisects ∠BAC\angle BAC. Point EE lies on AC‾\overline{AC}, and BE‾\overline{BE} bisects ∠ABC\angle ABC. The bisectors intersect at FF. What is the ratio AFAF : FDFD?

pair A = (0,0), B=(6,0), C=intersectionpoints(Circle(A,8),Circle(B,7))[0], F=incenter(A,B,C), D=extension(A,F,B,C),E=extension(B,F,A,C);
draw(A--B--C--A--D^^B--E);
label("AA",A,SW);
label("BB",B,SE);
label("CC",C,N);
label("DD",D,NE);
label("EE",E,NW);
label("FF",F,1.5*N);

\textbf{(A)}\ 3:2 \textbf{(B)}\ 5:3 \textbf{(C)}\ 2:1 \textbf{(D)}\ 7:3 \textbf{(E)}\ 5:2
