<s>[INST] Prove that $x^{2/3}+ y^{2/3}= a^{2/3}$ $BE=x, FC=y, BC=a$
Then prove that $x^{2/3}+ y^{2/3}= a^{2/3}$ 
 [/INST] By similar triangles $\triangle CDF,\triangle ABC$
$$\dfrac{CF}{BC}=\dfrac{AE}{AB}\implies\dfrac y{a\sin B}=\dfrac{a\cos B-x}{a\cos B} \iff x\sin B+y\cos B=a\cos B\sin B\ \ \  \ (1)$$
Similarly, by similar triangles $\triangle DAF,\triangle ABC$
$$\dfrac{AF}{CA}=\dfrac{DF}{AB}\implies\dfrac{a\cos B-x}{a\sin B}=\dfrac{a\sin B-y}{a\cos B}\iff x\cos B-y\sin B=a\cos2B\ \ \  \ (2)$$
Solve  $(1),(2)$ for $x,y$ to find $x=a\cos^3B,y=a\sin^3B$
Use Prove $\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1$


Alternatively, let $AB=c,CA=b\implies a^2=b^2+c^2\ \ \ \  (3)$
by similarities of the triangles we have $$\dfrac y{c-x}=\dfrac bc\ \ \ \  (4)$$ and $$\dfrac{c-x}{b-y}=\dfrac bc\ \ \ \  (5)$$
Solve  $(4),(5)$ for $x,y$ and use $(3)$
