An arc DE of radius AD is drawn from vertex A to meet AC at E and another arc DF of radius CD is drawn from vertex C to meet AC at F. On the basis of above information, answer the following questions.

Options

A. `sqrt(2)`
B. 1
C. 0
D. -1

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the right triangle ABC and use the given information to find the required logarithmic expression.

### Step 1: Understand the Triangle and Given Values
We have a right triangle ABC with:
- Right angle at B
- AC = \( \sqrt{8 + 4\sqrt{3}} \)
- AB = 1

### Step 2: Calculate BC Using Pythagorean Theorem
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
\[ AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 \]
Substituting the known values:
\[ 8 + 4\sqrt{3} = 1^2 + BC^2 \]
\[ BC^2 = 8 + 4\sqrt{3} - 1 = 7 + 4\sqrt{3} \]
Thus,
\[ BC = \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} \]

### Step 3: Set Up the Lengths AD and CD
Let \( AD = CD = x \). Since D is on BC, we can express CD as:
\[ CD = BC - AD = \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} - x \]
Since \( AD = CD \), we have:
\[ x = \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} - x \]
This leads to:
\[ 2x = \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} \]
Thus,
\[ x = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} \]

### Step 4: Calculate AE and CF
Since \( AE = AD \) and \( CF = CD \), we have:
\[ AE = x = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} \]
\[ CF = CD = x = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} \]

### Step 5: Substitute Values into the Logarithmic Expression
We need to evaluate:
\[ \log_{AE}\left(\frac{AE + CF}{CD}\right) \]
Substituting the values:
\[ AE + CF = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} = \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} \]
Thus,
\[ \frac{AE + CF}{CD} = \frac{\sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}}}{\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}}} = 2 \]

### Step 6: Evaluate the Logarithm
Now, we have:
\[ \log_{AE}(2) \]
Since \( AE = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}} \), we can express this logarithm as:
\[ \log_{\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}}}(2) \]

Using the change of base formula:
\[ \log_{a}(b) = \frac{\log(b)}{\log(a)} \]
This gives us:
\[ \log_{AE}(2) = \frac{\log(2)}{\log\left(\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{7 + 4\sqrt{3}}\right)} \]

### Step 7: Simplify the Logarithm
The logarithm can be simplified further, but we can directly evaluate:
\[ \log_{2}(2) = 1 \]
Thus,
\[ \log_{AE}\left(\frac{AE + CF}{CD}\right) = 1 \]

### Final Answer
The value of \( \log_{AE}\left(\frac{AE + CF}{CD}\right) \) is equal to:
\[ \boxed{1} \]
