In triangle $ABC$, $AB = 6$, $AC = 3$, and $\angle BAC = 120^{\circ}$. $D$ is the intersection of the angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ and line $BC$. $E$ is the intersection of the external angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ and line $BC$. We need to find $BC$, the ratio $BD:CD$, the ratio $BE:CE$, and $DE$.
