Problem Statement

Let ABC\vartriangle ABC be isosceles with AB=ACAB = AC. Let ω\omega be its circumscribed circle and OO its circumcenter. Let DD be the second intersection of COCO with ω\omega. Take a point EE in ABAB such that DEACDE \parallel AC and suppose that AE:BE=2:1AE: BE = 2: 1. Show that ABC\vartriangle ABC is equilateral.
