ABC is an isosceles triangle with its vertex angle A equal to 20 degrees.
On the base BC make /_BCD = 60 degrees;point D lies on AB.
Take point E on AB such that BE=BC.
Take a point F on AC such that BF=BC (point F is not coincident with C).
Thus BC=BF=BE.
Prove that DE=CF.

Does the point F lie in-between A and B on AB? Or does it lie on the projected line AB , beyond B?

Wait--you mean that F lies on AC between A and C, right? D and E lie on AB, between A and B, right?
