There are two circles $C _ { 1 } , C _ { 2 }$ with centers $\mathrm { O } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { O } _ { 2 }$ respectively and radii equal to $\overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } }$. As shown in the figure, three distinct points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B } , \mathrm { C }$ on circle $C _ { 1 }$ and a point $\mathrm { D }$ on circle $C _ { 2 }$ are given, with three points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { O } _ { 2 }$ and three points $\mathrm { C } , \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } , \mathrm { D }$ each on a line.
Let $\angle \mathrm { BO } _ { 1 } \mathrm {~A} = \theta _ { 1 } , \angle \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { C } = \theta _ { 2 } , \angle \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { D } = \theta _ { 3 }$.
The following is the process of finding the ratio of the lengths of segments AB and CD when $\overline { \mathrm { AB } } : \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { D } } = 1 : 2 \sqrt { 2 }$ and $\theta _ { 3 } = \theta _ { 1 } + \theta _ { 2 }$.
Since $\angle \mathrm { CO } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } + \angle \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { D } = \pi$, we have $\theta _ { 3 } = \frac { \pi } { 2 } + \frac { \theta _ { 2 } } { 2 }$, and from $\theta _ { 3 } = \theta _ { 1 } + \theta _ { 2 }$, we get $2 \theta _ { 1 } + \theta _ { 2 } = \pi$, so $\angle \mathrm { CO } _ { 1 } \mathrm {~B} = \theta _ { 1 }$. Since $\angle \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm {~B} = \theta _ { 1 } + \theta _ { 2 } = \theta _ { 3 }$, triangles $\mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm {~B}$ and $\mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { D }$ are congruent. Let $\overline { \mathrm { AB } } = k$. Since $\overline { \mathrm { BO } _ { 2 } } = \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { D } } = 2 \sqrt { 2 } k$, we have $\overline { \mathrm { AO } _ { 2 } } =$ (a) and since $\angle \mathrm { BO } _ { 2 } \mathrm {~A} = \frac { \theta _ { 1 } } { 2 }$, we have $\cos \frac { \theta _ { 1 } } { 2 } =$ (b). In triangle $\mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { BC }$, with $\overline { \mathrm { BC } } = k , \overline { \mathrm { BO } _ { 2 } } = 2 \sqrt { 2 } k , \angle \mathrm { CO } _ { 2 } \mathrm {~B} = \frac { \theta _ { 1 } } { 2 }$, by the law of cosines, $\overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { C } } =$ (c). Since $\overline { \mathrm { CD } } = \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { D } } + \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { C } } = \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } } + \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { C } }$, $\overline { \mathrm { AB } } : \overline { \mathrm { CD } } = k : \left( \frac { \text{(a)} } { 2 } + \text{(c)} \right)$.

(1)
By the sine rule:
$$B D = \frac { a \sin C } { \sin B } = \frac { a c } { b } = \frac { b ^ { 2 } } { b } = b$$
(2)
Note that $\angle B D A$ and $\angle B D C$ are supplementary, so their cosines are opposite in sign. Applying the cosine rule in triangles $\triangle B D A$ and $\triangle B D C$:
$$\cos \angle B D A + \cos \angle B D C = \frac { b ^ { 2 } + \left( \frac { 2 } { 3 } b \right) ^ { 2 } - c ^ { 2 } } { 2 \cdot \left( \frac { 2 } { 3 } b \right) \cdot b } + \frac { b ^ { 2 } + \left( \frac { 1 } { 3 } b \right) ^ { 2 } - a ^

[Solution]

[Analysis] (1) By the law of sines, we can obtain $2 c = 3 a$ . Combined with the known conditions, find the value of $a$ , and further obtain the values of $b$ and $c$ . Use the law of cosines and the fundamental trigonometric identity to find $\sin B$ , then use the area formula of a triangle to obtain the result;
(2) Analyze that angle $C$ is obtuse. From $\cos C < 0$ combined with the triangle inequality, find the value of the integer $a$ . [Detailed Solution] (1) Since $2 \sin C = 3 \sin A$ , by the law of sines we have $2 c = 3 a$ . Thus $2 ( a + 2 ) = 3 a$ , so $a = 4$ . Therefore $b = 5$ , $c = 6$ . By the law of cosines: $\cos C = \frac { a ^ { 2 } + b ^ { 2 } - c ^ { 2 } } { 2 a b } = \frac { 16 + 25 - 36 } { 2 \times 4 \times 5 } = \frac { 5 } { 40 } = \frac { 1 } { 8 }$ . Since $C$ is acute, $\sin C = \sqrt { 1 - \cos ^ { 2 } C } = \sqrt { 1 - \frac { 1 } { 64 } } = \frac { 3 \sqrt { 7 } } { 8 }$ .
Therefore, $S _ { \triangle A B C } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } a b \sin C = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \times 4 \times 5 \times \frac { 3 \sqrt { 7 } } { 8 } = \frac { 15 \sqrt { 7 } } { 4 }$ ;
(2) Clearly $c > b > a$ . If $\triangle A B C$ is an obtuse triangle, then $C$ is obtuse. By the law of cosines: $\cos C = \frac { a ^ { 2 } + b ^ { 2 } - c ^ { 2 } } { 2 a b } = \frac { a ^ { 2 } + ( a + 1 ) ^ { 2 } - ( a + 2 ) ^ { 2 } } { 2 a ( a + 1 ) } = \frac { a ^ { 2 } + a ^ 2 + 2a + 1 - a ^ 2 - 4a - 4 } { 2 a ( a + 1 ) } = \frac { a ^ { 2 } - 2 a - 3 } { 2 a ( a + 1 ) } < 0$ , Solving: $- 1 < a < 3$ , thus $0 < a < 3$ . By the triangle inequality: $a + a + 1 > a + 2$ , we get $a > 1$ . Since $a \in \mathbb{Z}$ , we have $a = 2$ .

In $\triangle A B C$, point $D$ is on side $B C$, $\angle A D B = 120 ^ { \circ } , A D = 2 , C D = 2 B D$ . If $S_{\triangle ABD} : S_{\triangle ACD} = 1 : 2$, then $B D =$ $\_\_\_\_$ .

In $\triangle ABC$, point $D$ is on side $BC$, $\angle ADB = 120 ^ { \circ }$, $AD = 2$, and $CD = 2 BD$. Then $BD =$ $\_\_\_\_$.
