By Angle Bisector Theorem on $\triangle ADC$ it follows $AC=\tfrac{5}{3}AD,$ and on $\triangle ABE$ it follows $AB=\tfrac{1}{3}AE.$ By Stewart's Theorem we obtain
\begin{align*}
3\left(\frac{1}{3}AE\right)^2+(AE)^2=4((AD)^2+3), \\
8\left(\frac{1}{3}AE\right)^2+\left(\frac{5}{3}AE\right)^2=9((AD)^2+8,
\end{align*}which produce imaginary lengths.
Yes, as the title suggests, the lengths are imaginary. That is an error from the problem-writers' end.
