This question seems tricky and I frankly don't know how to start. I will be grateful if someone can provide a solution.

We have a triangle $ABC$ and there is a point $F$ on $BC$ such that $AF$ intersects the median $BD$ at $E$. If $AE=BC$ how do we prove that triangle $BEF$ is isosceles?

I think this has to do with ratios of sides, but I'm not getting any where. I drew a graph as accurately as I could and I am pretty confident that the objective of the problem is to somehow show that $EF$ equals $BF$, but I have no clue. Thanks!

    If you have a drawing in front of you, @Nitesh, you'll see that it is impossible, without more data, that $\,EF=BF\,$ ,as this would render the triangles $\,\Delta AED\,,\,\,\Delta CBD\,$ congruent, and then $\,BD=ED\,$ , which is absurd as the latter segment is a *subsegment* of the former.2012-08-28

    I added a diagram, but I don't see how AED and CBD have to be congruent if EF=BF?2012-08-28

    $$EF=FB\Longrightarrow \angle EBF=\angle BEF\,\,,\,\,\angle BEF=\angle AED\,\,(\text{vertex angles})$$ and since $\,AE=BC\,\,,\,\,AD=DC\,$ we get congruency2012-08-28

    Oops, wrong! We have side-side-angle, not side-angle-side! The above doesn't render those triangles congruent, indeed...unless $\,AD=DC\,$ is the longest side in each respective triangle.2012-08-28
