[net.puzzle] Geometry Puzzle III

Just to keep you on your toes, I have ANOTHER problem, this one I have yet to
solve, although I've just about got it (decided to put it up before din-din).
This figure is more difficult to draw, so read through the description before
trying to draw it.  First start with right triangle ABC, where A is rt. and
where AC is the longer leg.  Then draw point D on side AC, such that DB=DC.
Finally, draw point F on BC such that AF is perpindicular, and such that
CF=CD.  Given: BD=DC=FC=1 and that AB is prpndclr to AC and that AF is
prpndclr to BC, FIND:  AC.  Good luck, leave answer in radical form.
