[This is a geometry puzzle, solvable by elementary 8th grade geometry, i.e. no trigonometry etc]
In the figure below (not to scale, forgive the shoddy drawing skills).

ABC is a triangle such that ∠BAC=60 and ∠ABC=25.
DEF is an isosceles triangle, such that ∠EDF=∠EFD, and ∠DEF=10
(all angles are in degrees).
We also have that |BC|=|DE| (|XY| = length of the segment XY)
Show that 2|AC|+|DF|=|AB|
[Solution]
