I really just dont know where to start on this one to be honest. I thought about making a triangle BEA or CBG but not sure how that would work. Thansk for the help.

Aha! CBD ~ CGA!
Both are 30-60-90.
1. Set CG = \(x\), and set CB = \(y\)
2. CD is \(x+1\)
3. Based on 30-60-90 properties, \(\frac{x+1}{2}=y\)
4. Write a similarity proportion
\(\frac{y}{x+1}=\frac{x}{y+13}\)
So now we have two equations...
Have fun solving!
Here is my solution :

I just used some basic geometry theories like Equilateral Triangle, Pythago, etc.
Hope it can help :)
Triangles BCD, ACG, and GDN are similar; all of them are 30-60-90
Let's denote the intersection point of AF and BD with a leter N
BN = 13 * tan(30°) = 7.505
DN = 1 / cos (30°) = 1.155
BD = BN + DN = 8.66
CD = BD / cos (30°) = 10
Circle radius r = CD / 2 = 5
EG = sqrt [ r² - ( r - 1 )² ] = 3
CG = CD - GD = 9
AG = CG / tan (30°) = 15.588
EA = AG - EG = 12.588
