SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the product of segments $\overline {AD}$ and $\overline {CD}$ in triangle $\triangle APB$, where $\overline {PA} = \overline {PB}$ and $\angle APB = 2\angle ACB$. Given that point $D$ is the intersection of lines $\overline {AC}$ and $\overline {BP}$, with $\overline {BP} = 3$ and $\overline {PD} = 2$, the solution involves applying geometric properties and relationships within the triangle. The exact value of $\overline {AD} \times \overline {CD}$ can be derived using these parameters.
