The diagonal $AB$ in quadrilateral $ADBC$ bisects the angle $CBD$. $DB$ and $DA$ are tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ at points $A$ and $B$. The perimeter of triangle $ABC$ is $20$ and perimeter of triangle $ABD$ is $12$. Find the length of $BD$.

I'm a bit sad seeing that people are not trying this problem. It's one of my favourite. As a divisional problem, it takes good count of your geometric senses and algebraic capabilities

Re: Dhaka Secondary 2011/6
I've solved it n my ans is (36/11)......I'm sorry that I cant post a full solution because I cant use LATEX yet. I'll try to learn it soon. My procedure was to show tringle ABC and triangle ABD are both isosceles and similar to each other.

Re: Dhaka Secondary 2011/6
i find ABD isosceles.how did you get ABC as isosceles?

Re: Dhaka Secondary 2011/6
how 2 get similarity???

Re: Dhaka Secondary 2011/6
$ABD$ and $ABC$ are both isosceles. $\angle BAD=\angle ACB$ (ekanttor brittangshostho kon),
so $\angle ACB=\angle ABD=\angle BAD=\angle ABC$
so in triangle $ABC$ and $ABD$
$\angle ABC=\angle ABD$
$\angle ACB=\angle BAD$
$\angle BAC=\angle ADB$
so $\angle ACB=\angle ABD=\angle BAD=\angle ABC$
so in triangle $ABC$ and $ABD$
$\angle ABC=\angle ABD$
$\angle ACB=\angle BAD$
$\angle BAC=\angle ADB$
