Try this beautiful Geometry Problem on Equilateral Triangle from AMC-10A, 2010.
Triangle $ABC$ has $AB=2 \cdot AC$. Let $D$ and $E$ be on $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{BC}$, respectively, such that $\angle BAE = \angle ACD$. Let $F$ be the intersection of segments $AE$ and $CD$, and suppose that $\triangle CFE$ is equilateral. What is $\angle ACB$?

Pre College Mathematics
We have to find out the \(\angle ACB\).Given that \(\angle CEF\) is a equilateral triangle and also given that $\angle BAE = \angle ACD$.so using the help of this two conditions ,we can find out all possible values of angles.........
can you finish the problem........
\(\angle BAE=\angle ACD=X\)
Let,
\(\angle BAE=\angle ACD=X\)
\(\angle BCD=\angle AEC=60^{\circ}\)
\(\angle EAC +\angle FCA+ \angle ECF+\angle AEC=\angle EAC +x+60^{\circ}+60^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\)
\(\angle EAC=60^{\circ}-x\)
\(\angle BAC =\angle EAC +\angle BAE =60^{\circ} -x+x=60^{\circ}\)
can you finish the problem........
Since \(\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{1}{2} \angle BCA\)=\(90^{\circ}\)
Therefore value of \(\angle BCA=90^{\circ}\)
