Problem 12

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with side length $55$. Points $D$, $E$, and $F$ lie on sides $BC$, $CA$, and $AB$, respectively, such that $BD=7$, $CE=30$, and $AF=40$. A unique point $P$ inside $\triangle ABC$ has the property that \[\measuredangle AEP=\measuredangle BFP=\measuredangle CDP.\] Find $\tan^{2}\measuredangle AEP$.

Solution

Miquel point and law of cosines, answer should be 75
