Visualized Solution
Defining Variables and Geometry
Let AB=x and BD=y.
From the figure, ACDB is a rectangle, so AC=BD=y and CD=AB=x.
ΔCAB is right-angled at A.
ΔCED is right-angled at D.
Using the Area of ΔCAB
Area of ΔCAB=21⋅AB⋅AC=21xy.
Given: 21xy=23−3.
Therefore, y=x43−6.
Relating BE and AB
Given: 3(BE)=4(AB).
From the figure, BE=BD+DE=y+DE.
3(y+DE)=4x⇒DE=34x−y.
Expressing tanθ1 and tanθ2
In ΔCAB, tanθ1=ABAC=xy.
In ΔCED, tanθ2=CDDE=xDE.
tanθ2=x34x−y=34−xy.
So, tanθ2=34−tanθ1.
The Angle Sum Condition
Given: θ1+θ2=2π⇒tanθ2=cotθ1=tanθ11.
Substitute tanθ2: tanθ11=34−tanθ1.
Forming the Quadratic Equation
Rearranging gives: tan2θ1−34tanθ1+1=0.
Solving for tanθ1
Using the quadratic formula: tanθ1=234±316−4.
tanθ1=234±32.
tanθ1=3 or tanθ1=31.
Maximizing the Ratio
For θ1θ2 to be largest, θ1 must be smallest.
So, tanθ1=31⇒θ1=30∘.
Then θ2=90∘−30∘=60∘.
Finding the Side Length x
tan30∘=xy=31⇒y=3x.
Substitute into Area: 21x(3x)=23−3.
x2=23(23−3)=12−63.
x2=(3−3)2⇒x=3−3.
Calculating Perimeter of ΔCED
In ΔCED:
CD=x=3−3.
DE=CDtan60∘=(3−3)3=33−3.
CE=CDsec60∘=2(3−3)=6−23.
Perimeter =(3−3)+(33−3)+(6−23)=6.

Analyzing the Setup
Welcome, future engineer. Today, we are not just solving a problem; we are uncovering a hidden symmetry. When you look at this diagram, do not see just lines and angles; see a structure, a rectangle ACDB that acts as the foundation for two distinct worlds: the lower triangle ΔCAB and the upper triangle ΔCED.
Our journey begins by defining our variables. Let us set the base AB=x and the height BD=y. Because ACDB is a rectangle, we immediately know that AC=y and CD=x. This is our anchor.
The Bridge of Trigonometry
We are given the area of ΔCAB as 23−3. Since the area of a right-angled triangle is 21⋅base⋅height, we have:
21xy=23−3
This gives us a crucial relationship:
y=x43−6
Keep this in your pocket; we will need it later.
Now, look at the vertical segment BE. The problem gives us a beautiful constraint: 3(BE)=4(AB). Since BE=BD+DE=y+DE, we can write:
3(y+DE)=4x
Rearranging this, we find DE=34x−y. This is the key to the upper triangle.
In ΔCED, tanθ2=CDDE=xDE. Substituting our expression for DE, we get:
tanθ2=34−xy
Since tanθ1=xy, we have arrived at the elegant relation:
tanθ2=34−tanθ1
The Quadratic Revelation
Here is where the magic happens. We are told θ1+θ2=2π. This means tanθ2=cotθ1=tanθ11.
Substituting this into our previous equation, we get:
tanθ11=34−tanθ1
Multiplying by tanθ1 and rearranging, we obtain the quadratic equation:
tan2θ1−34tanθ1+1=0
Solving this using the quadratic formula, we find tanθ1=3 or tanθ1=31.
The Final Victory
To maximize the ratio θ1θ2, we need θ1 to be as small as possible. Thus, we choose tanθ1=31, which means θ1=30∘ and θ2=60∘.
Substituting tan30∘=xy=31 back into our area equation, we find x=3−3. Now, calculating the sides of ΔCED:
CD=3−3
DE=CDtan60∘=33−3
CE=CDsec60∘=6−23
Adding these together, the perimeter is:
(3−3)+(33−3)+(6−23)=6
The terms cancel with such satisfying precision. You have mastered the geometry, and the final answer is 6.
