Do these segments meet? No!

Interestingly, the solution S1 is real only for k > -7/25, that is for ã < 106.26 degree, the meaning of which missing me. For each k>  -7/25 (except the case k = 0!), S1 gives the value of b < 1, and I consider here one particular case of k = [Graphics:Images/don2_gr_2.gif] , for which I write down some relevant values:
a = CB = 1,  b = AC = [Graphics:Images/don2_gr_3.gif],  ã = angle ACB =  [Graphics:Images/don2_gr_4.gif],
c = BA = [Graphics:Images/don2_gr_5.gif],
AD = [Graphics:Images/don2_gr_6.gif],
BE = [Graphics:Images/don2_gr_7.gif]
CF = [Graphics:Images/don2_gr_8.gif],
CD =  [Graphics:Images/don2_gr_9.gif].
This triangle is shown here  and it is clearly seen that three segments do not meet in one point.

              Again:      No, these three segments do not meet in one point!
