The document presents the proof that in an equilateral triangle ABC, if the side BC is trisected at D, then 9AD^2 = 7AB^2. It first constructs the triangle with BC trisected at D. It then uses properties of 30-60-90 triangles and algebra to show DE = 1/6 AB and relates the sides. After algebraic manipulations, it arrives at the relationship 9AD^2 = 7AB^2. The second proof shows that if ∠A = 135°, then AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 + 4A(AABC), where A(AABC) is the area of triangle AABC. It constructs angle bisector AD
