Quadrilateral 81097

The quadrilateral ABCD is symmetrical about the diagonal AC. The length of AC is 12 cm, the length of BC is 6 cm, and the interior angle at vertex B is right. points E and F are given on the sides AB, and AD so that the triangle ECF is equilateral. Determine the length of segment EF.

Correct answer:

EF =  6.9282 cm
