Solution
Given,
And θ1+θ2=2π
Now, Let AB=x,BD=y
Also given, 3BE=4AB
⇒3(y+DE)=4x
⇒DE=34x−y
Now given area of triangle ΔCAB=23−3
⇒21xy=23−3
⇒y=x43−6
Now finding,
tanθ2=x(34x−y)=34−x2(43−6)
tanθ1=xy=x243−6
Now taking tan both of θ1+θ2=2π we get,
tanθ1⋅tanθ2=1
⇒(34−x243−6)⋅(x243−6)=1
⇒x243−6=3or31
So, θ1θ2 is maximum when x243−6=31
⇒x2=3(43−6)
⇒x2=12−63
⇒x2=(3−3)2
⇒x=3−3 and θ2=60∘
⇒tan60∘=CDDE⇒DE=x⋅3=33−3
And cos60∘=CECD⇒CE=2x=6−23
So, the Perimeter of ΔCED=CD+DE+CE=6
