Problem
Let be a rectangle with and . Point and lie on and respectively so that all sides of and have integer lengths. What is the perimeter of ?
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

Solution 2
Let and . We get . Subtracting on both sides, we get . Factoring, we get . Since and are integers, both and have to be even or both have to be odd. We also have . We can pretty easily see now that and . Thus, and . We now get . We do the same trick again. Let and . Thus, . We can get and . Thus, and . We get and by the Pythagorean Theorem, we have . We get . Our answer is
