Solution 1
We know that all side lengths are integers, so we can test Pythagorean triples for all triangles.
First, we focus on . The length of is , and the possible (small enough) Pythagorean triples can be are where the length of the longer leg is a factor of . Testing these, we get that only is a valid solution. Thus, we know that and .
Next, we move on to . The length of is , and the small enough triples are and . Testing again, we get that is our triple. We get the value of , and .
We know that which is , and which is . is therefore a right triangle with side length ratios , and the hypotenuse is equal to . has side lengths and so the perimeter is equal to
