Answer:
Let segments AI and EF meet at K . Extending AK to meet the circumcircle again at Y , we see that 8
X and Y are diametrically opposite, and it follows that AX and EF are parallel. Therefore the heightfrom X to U V is merely AK . Observe that AE = AF , so 4 AEF is equilateral; since M N, M P areparallel to AF, AE respectively, it follows that 4 M V U, 4 U EN, 4 F P V are equilateral as well. Then

M V = M P − P V = AC − F P = AC − AF + AP = AC − AF + AB = BC , since E, F are the

tangency points of the incircle. Since 4 M V U is equilateral, we have U V = M U = M V = BC .1
Now we can compute BC = 7, whence U V = and 72
