Problem Statement

Let ABC\vartriangle ABC be a triangle with BAC=45o,BCA=30o\angle BAC = 45^o, \angle BCA = 30^o, and AB=1AB = 1. Point DD lies on segment ACAC such that AB=BDAB = BD. Find the square of the length of the common external tangent to the circumcircles of triangles BDC\vartriangle BDC and ABC\vartriangle ABC.
