The median AD of triangle ABC is bisected at E and BE meets AC at F. Find AF:FC .
$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{median}\:\mathrm{AD}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{triangle}\:\mathrm{ABC}\:\mathrm{is}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{bisected}\:\mathrm{at}\:\mathrm{E}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{BE}\:\mathrm{meets}\:\mathrm{AC}\:\mathrm{at}\:\mathrm{F}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{AF}:\mathrm{FC}\:. \\ $$

you can put any triangle abc in this position: δ=Heron′s Number=(√((a+b+c)(a+b−c)(a+c−b)(b+c−a))) A= ((0),(0) ) B= ((c),(0) ) C= ((((−a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )/(2c))),((δ/(2c))) ) D=((B+C)/2)= ((((−a^2 +b^2 +3c^2 )/(4c))),((δ/(4c))) ) E=((A+D)/2)=((2A+B+C)/4)= ((((−a^2 +b^2 +3c^2 )/(8c))),((δ/(8c))) ) line BE: y=(δ/(a^2 −b^2 +5c^2 ))(c−x) line AC: y=(δ/(−a^2 +b^2 +c^2 ))x F=BE∩AC= ((((−a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )/(6c))),((δ/(6c))) ) ∣AF∣=((√(δ^2 +(−a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )^2 ))/(6c)) ∣FC∣=((√(δ^2 +(−a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )^2 ))/(3c)) ((∣AF∣)/(∣FC∣))=(1/2)
