+ | Now the key claim is that: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <b>Claim:</b> <math>\triangle DEF</math> and <math>\triangle M_AM_BM_C</math> are homothetic at <math>I</math> with ratio <math>2</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <i>Proof.</i> First, we show that <math>D</math> is the midpoint of <math>M_AI</math>. Indeed, we have | ||
+ | <cmath>\frac{ID}{DM_A} = \frac{BI}{BM_A}\cdot \frac{\sin\angle IBC}{\sin \angle CBM_A} = \frac{BI}{AI}\cdot\frac{\sin \angle B/2}{\sin \angle A/2} = 1</cmath> | ||
+ | by Ratio lemma and Law of Sines. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now observe that: | ||
+ | * <math>\overline{M_BM_C}</math> is the perpendicular bisector of <math>\overline{AI}</math>, | ||
+ | * <math>\overline{EF}</math> is the perpendicular bisector of <math>\overline{AD}</math>, and | ||
+ | * <math>ID = AI/2</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Combining these facts gives that <math>\overline{EF}</math> is a midline in <math>\triangle IM_BM_C</math>, which proves the claim. <math>\blacksquare</math> | ||
+ | |||
+ | To finish, we compute <math>[M_AM_BM_C]</math>, noting that <math>[AEF] = [DEF] = \tfrac{1}{4}[M_AM_BM_C]</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | By Heron's, we can calculate the circumradius <math>R = 8/\sqrt{7}</math>, and by Law of Cosines, we get | ||
+ | <cmath>\begin{align*}\cos A &= \frac{9}{16}\implies \cos A/2 = \frac{5}{\sqrt{32}} \ | ||
+ | \cos B &= \frac{1}{8} \implies \cos B/2 = \frac{3}{4} \ | ||
+ | \cos C &= \frac{3}{4} \implies \cos C/2 = \sqrt{\frac{7}{8}}.\end{align*}</cmath> | ||
+ | Then using <math>[XYZ] = 2R^2\sin X\sin Y\sin Z</math>, we can compute | ||
+ | <cmath>[M_AM_BM_C] = 2\cdot \frac{64}{7}\cdot \frac{5}{\sqrt{32}}\cdot \frac{3}{4}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{8}} = \frac{30\sqrt{7}}{7}.</cmath> | ||
+ | Thus <math>[AEF] = 15\sqrt{7}/14</math>, which gives a final answer of <math>\boxed{036}</math>. | ||

Solution 11 Bash for life
Firstly, it is easy to find with angle bisector theorem.
Using LOC and some trig formulas we get all those values: Now we find the coordinates of points and we apply shoelace theorem later. Point A's coordinates is , Let is perpendicular to , , which means the slope of is . Find the coordinate of , it is easy, , the function is . Now find the intersection of , , getting that Now we look at line segment , since . Since the line passes , we can set the equation to get the , find the intersection of ,, getting that and in the end we use shoelace theorem with coordinates of getting the area leads to the final answer

Solution 12 (Simple geometry)
Using the Claim (below) we get is orthocenter of So area of is
Semiperimeter of so the bisector
We get the inradius by applying Heron's formula
We use formulas for inradius and get The area
Claim
Let be incenter of Then bisector perpendicular bisector of and perpendicular dropped to bisector from point are concurrent.
Proof
Denote Then Denote the intersection point of and the tangent line to the circumcircle at point
WLOC, (case is trivial).
(this angles are measured by half the arc of the circumcircle).
Therefore bisector of angle P coincite with the perpendicular bisector of .
By applying the Law of Sines to we get
Let be crosspoint of and bisector By applying the Law of Sines to we get
Let be crosspoint of and the perpendicular dropped to bisector from point coincide with

Solution 13 (Trig)
Denote as the incenter of and as the intersecting point of and .
We solve this question based on this equation: .
Firstly, let's compute the trig value of and . Using the Cosine Law and half-angle formula, we obtain:
Noticing that by angle chasing, . Similarly, . Thus, and
Then we find : by Stewart's theorem, .
For , first noticing that . Then, by Angel Bisector's theorem, we have , and applying Sine Law: Substituting the known values, we get . Thus,
Now, we already find all the unknown values in the very beginning equation. Substituting all the values, we obtain , which gives a final answer of .
