Problem Statement

As shown in figure , in the pentagon ABCDEABCDE, BC=DEBC = DE, CDBECD \parallel BE, AB>AEAB>AE. If BAC=DAE\angle BAC = \angle DAE and ABBD=AEED\frac{AB}{BD}=\frac{AE}{ED}. Prove that ACAC bisects the line segment BEBE. https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/3/2/5ce44f1e091786b865ae4319bda56c3ddbb8d7.png
