Triangle $ABC$ is isosceles. An ant begins at $A$, walks exactly halfway along the perimeter of $\triangle{ABC}$, and then returns directly $A$, cutting through the interior of the triangle. The ant's path surround exactly 90% of the area of $\triangle{ABC}$. Compute the maximum value of $\tan{A}$.

In $\triangle{ABC}$, $\angle{BAC} = 40^\circ$ and $\angle{ABC} = 60^\circ$. Points $D$ and $E$ are on sides $AC$ and $AB$, respectively, such that $\angle{DBC}=40^\circ$ and $\angle{ECB}=70^\circ$. Let $F$ be the intersection point of $BD$ and $CE$. Show that $AF\perp BC$.

Chords $AB$ and $CD$ of a given circle are perpendicular to each other and intersect at a right angle at point $E$. If $BE=16$, $DE=4$, and $AD=5$, find $CE$.
