NationalOpen answer

A triangle \(ABC\) has a point \(D\) on side \(AB\) and a point \(E\) on side \(AC\) such that

\[ |AE| = |ED| = |DB| \qquad\text{and}\qquad |AD| = |DC| = |CB| . \]

Determine the angles of triangle \(ABC\).

A B C D E
Two ticks mark the equal lengths \(|AE| = |ED| = |DB|\), three ticks the equal lengths \(|AD| = |DC| = |CB|\).
