$${AD}=\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}\:\:\:,{AC}=\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\bigtriangleup{ABD}\sim\bigtriangleup{CED}\:\therefore\frac{{ED}}{{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{ED}=\frac{{x}}{\:\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}} \\ $$$${Again}\:\frac{{AC}}{{CD}}=\frac{{AE}}{{ED}}\:\:\:\:\left[{CE}\:{is}\:{bisector}\right] \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}}{{x}}=\frac{\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}}{{x}} \\ $$$${now}\:{I}\:{cannot}\:{find}\:{x}\: \\ $$$${Is}\:{it}\:{any}\:{mistake}? \\ $$

$${x}\left(\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{2}\theta−\mathrm{tan}\:\theta\right)=\mathrm{1}\:=\:{x}\mathrm{sin}\:\theta \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{2sin}\:\theta\mathrm{cos}\:\theta}{\mathrm{2cos}\:^{\mathrm{2}} \theta−\mathrm{1}}−\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:\theta}{\mathrm{cos}\:\theta}\right)=\mathrm{sin}\:\theta \\ $$$${if}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\theta\:\neq\:\mathrm{0},\:{then} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:…..\:\: \\ $$
