Solution 1
Notice that
∠DFE=∠CFE−∠CFD=∠CBE−∠CAD=180−B−A=C.
By the Law of Cosines,
cosC=2⋅AC⋅BCAC2+BC2−AB2=43.
Then,
DE2=DF2+EF2−2⋅DF⋅EFcosC=32⟹DE=42.
Let X=AB∩CF, a=XB, and b=XD. Then,
XA⋅XD=XC⋅XF=XB⋅XE⟹b(a+4)=a(b+42)⟹b=a2.
However, since △XFD∼△XAC, XF=34+a, but since △XFE∼△XBC,
57=3a4+a⟹a=45⟹BE=a+a2+42=45+212,
and the requested sum is 5+21+2+4=032.

Solution 2
Define ω1 to be the circumcircle of △ACD and ω2 to be the circumcircle of △EBC.
Because of exterior angles,
∠ACB=∠CBE−∠CAD
But ∠CBE=∠CFE because CBFE is cyclic. In addition, ∠CAD=∠CFD because CAFD is cyclic. Therefore, ∠ACB=∠CFE−∠CFD. But ∠CFE−∠CFD=∠DFE, so ∠ACB=∠DFE. Using Law of Cosines on △ABC, we can figure out that cos(∠ACB)=43. Since ∠ACB=∠DFE, cos(∠DFE)=43. We are given that DF=2 and FE=7, so we can use Law of Cosines on △DEF to find that DE=42.
Let G be the intersection of segment AE and CF. Using Power of a Point with respect to G within ω1, we find that AG⋅GD=CG⋅GF. We can also apply Power of a Point with respect to G within ω2 to find that CG⋅GF=BG⋅GE. Therefore, AG⋅GD=BG⋅GE.
AG⋅GD=BG⋅GE(AB+BG)⋅GD=BG⋅(GD+DE)AB⋅GD+BG⋅GD=BG⋅GD+BG⋅DEAB⋅GD=BG⋅DE4⋅GD=BG⋅42GD=BG⋅2
Note that △GAC is similar to △GFD. GF=3BG+4. Also note that △GBC is similar to △GFE, which gives us GF=57⋅BG. Solving this system of linear equations, we get BG=45. Now, we can solve for BE, which is equal to BG(2+1)+42. This simplifies to 45+212, which means our answer is 032.
Solution 3
Construct FC and let FC∩AE=K. Let FK=x. Using △FKE∼△BKC,
BK=75x
Using △FDK∼ACK, it can be found that
3x=AK=4+75x→x=47
This also means that BK=421−4=45. It suffices to find KE. It is easy to see the following:
180−∠ABC=∠KBC=∠KFE
Using reverse Law of Cosines on △ABC, cos∠ABC=81→cos180−∠ABC=8−1. Using Law of Cosines on △EFK gives KE=4212, so BE=45+212→032. -franchester
Solution 4 (No <C = <DFE, no LoC)
Let P=AE∩CF. Let CP=5x and BP=5y; from △CBP∼△EFP we have EP=7x and FP=7y. From △CAP∼△DFP we have 4+5y6=7y2 giving y=41. So BP=45 and FP=47. These similar triangles also gives us DP=35x so DE=316x. Now, Stewart's Theorem on △FEP and cevian FD tells us that
9560x3+28x=349x+3245x,
so x=432. Then BE=45+7x=45+212 so the answer is 032 as desired. (Solution by Trumpeter, but not added to the Wiki by Trumpeter)
Solution 5
Connect CF meeting AE at J. We can observe that △ACJ∼△FJD Getting that FJAJ=FDAC=3. We can also observe that △CBJ∼△EFJ, getting that EFCB=FJBJ=EJCJ=75
Assume that BJ=5x;FJ=7x, since FJAJ=3, we can get that FJAJ=FJAB+BJ=7x4+5x=3, getting that x=41;BJ=45;FJ=47
Using Power of Point, we can get that BJ∗EJ=CJ∗FJ;DJ∗AJ=CJ∗FJ Assume that DJ=5k,CJ=15k, getting that JE=21k,DE=16k
Now applying Law of Cosine on two triangles, △ACJ;△FJE separately, we can get two equations
Since ∠CJA=∠FJE, we can use 15(2)−7(1) to eliminate the cos term
Then we can get that 5040k2=630, getting k=42
BE=21k=4212;BJ=45, so the desired answer is 4212+5, which leads to the answer 032

Solution 6
First, let AE and CF intersect at X. Our motivation here is to introduce cyclic quadrilaterals and find useful relationships in terms of angles. Observe that
∠DFE=∠XFE−∠XFD=∠CBE−∠CAB=180−∠ABC−∠CAB=∠BAC
By the so-called "Reverse Law of Cosines" on △ABC we have
cos(∠BAC)=−2⋅5⋅642−52−62=43
Applying on △DFE gives
DE2=22+72−2⋅2⋅7cos(∠DFE)=22+72−2⋅2⋅7⋅43=32
So DE=42, now by our cyclic quadrilaterals again, we are motivated by the multiple appearances of similar triangles throughout the figure. We want some that are related to BX and XD, which are crucial lengths in the problem. Suppose BX=r,XD=s for simplicity. We have:
△AXC∼△FXD
and
△BXC∼△FXE
So
FXAX=XDXC=FDAC⟹FX4+r=sXC=3FXBX=XEXC=FEBC⟹FXr=s+42XC=75⟹r4+r=ss+42=521⟹r=45,s=452
So BE=r+s+42=45+212. The requested sum is 5+21+2+4=032.
