In quadrilateral $BCED$, sides $\overline{BD}$ and $\overline{CE}$ are extended past $B$ and $C$, respectively, to meet at point $A$. If $BD = 8$, $BC = 3$, $CE = 1$, $AC = 19$ and $AB = 13$, then what is $DE$?

CA = 19

BA = 13

BC = 3

 

This isn't possible

 

ABC must form a triangle but  BC + BA < CA  which violates the triangle inequality
