B^∧ =100^• ,AC=10,AD=DB=BE=EC.      ⇒∡DBE=?,DE=?  (is there additional conditions  needed?)

$$\overset{\wedge} {\boldsymbol{{B}}}=\mathrm{100}^{\bullet} ,\boldsymbol{{AC}}=\mathrm{10},\boldsymbol{{AD}}=\boldsymbol{{DB}}=\boldsymbol{{BE}}=\boldsymbol{{EC}}. \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\Rightarrow\measuredangle\boldsymbol{{DBE}}=?,\boldsymbol{{DE}}=? \\ $$$$\left(\boldsymbol{{is}}\:\boldsymbol{{there}}\:\boldsymbol{{additional}}\:\boldsymbol{{conditions}}\right. \\ $$$$\left.\boldsymbol{{needed}}?\right) \\ $$

let α=∠A  ∠BDE=2α  ∠DBE=180°−4α>0 ⇒α<45°  ∠B=2α+180°−4α=72° (!!)  ⇒2α=180°−72°=104°  ⇒α=52° > 45°  ⇒Geometry not possible!  ∠B=72° is too small!    let′s assume ∠B=100°  ⇒α=((180°−100°)/2)=40°  ∠DBE=180°−4×40°=20°  let AD=DB=BE=EC=k  2(k+k sin ((20°)/2))=AC=10  ⇒k=((10)/(2(1+sin 10°)))=4.26  DE=2k sin ((20°)/2)=1.5
