4. As shown in the figure, in △ABC, ∠A=60∘, points D,E are on side AB, and F, G are on side CA. Connecting BF,FE,EG,GD divides △ABC into five smaller triangles of equal area, i.e., S△CBF=S△FBE=S△FEC=S△GED=S△GDA V and EB=2CF. Find the value of EFBC.
A number or a short expression. Fractions can be typed as 3/2, and spacing doesn't matter.

4. 27.
It is known that S△FEA=3S△FBE, so AE=3BE. Similarly, we get AF=4CF. And BE=2C, so we can set CF=x, then AF=4x,AC=5x,AE=6x,AB=8x. In △FEA, using the cosine rule we get EF2=36x2+42x2−2⋅6x⋅4x⋅cos60∘=28x2.
In △ABC, using the cosine rule we get BC2=64x2+25x2−2⋅8x⋅5x⋅cos60∘=49x2. Then EFBC=27x7x=27.
