Consider a triangle ABC where $\mathrm{AB} = 8$, $\mathrm{AC} = 5$ and $\angle\mathrm{BAC} = 60^\circ$. Take point D and point E on sides AB and AC, respectively, such that the segment DE divides triangle ABC into two parts with the equal areas. Set $x = \mathrm{AD}$. (1) When we represent AE in terms of $x$, we have $\mathrm{AE} = \frac{\mathbf{JK}}{x}$. (2) When E moves along side AC, the range of the values which $x$ can take is $$\mathbf{L} \leq x \leqq \mathbf{M}.$$ (3) Since $\mathrm{DE}^2 = \left(x - \frac{\mathbf{NO}}{x}\right)^2 + \mathbf{PQ}$, the length of segment DE is minimized at $x = \mathbf{R}\sqrt{\mathbf{S}}$, and its length there is $\mathbf{T}$.$\mathbf{U}$.
