Problem
Given and a point on one of its sides, call line the of through if passes through and divides into two polygons of equal perimeter. Let be a triangle where and and are positive integers. Let and be the midpoints of and respectively, and suppose that the splitting lines of through and intersect at Find the perimeter of
The Geometry Part - Solution 1
Consider the splitting line through . Extend on ray such that . Then the splitting line bisects segment , so in particular it is the midline of triangle and thus it is parallel to . But since triangle is isosceles, we can easily see is parallel to the angle bisector of , so the splitting line is also parallel to this bisector, and similar for the splitting line through . Some simple angle chasing reveals the condition is now equivalent to .

The Geometry Part - Solution 2
Let and be the splitting lines. Reflect across to be and across to be . Take and , which are spiral similarity centers on the other side of as such that and . This gets that because and , then and are on 's circumcircle. Now, we know that and so because and , then and and and .
We also notice that because and correspond on and , and because and correspond on and , then the angle formed by and is equal to the angle formed by and which is equal to . Thus, . Similarly, and so and .

The NT Part
We now need to solve . A quick check gives that and . Thus, it's equivalent to solve .
Let be one root of . Then, recall that is the ring of integers of and is a unique factorization domain. Notice that . Therefore, it suffices to find an element of with the norm .

Solution (Number Theory Part)
We wish to solve the Diophantine equation . It can be shown that and , so we make the substitution and to obtain as our new equation to solve for.
Notice that , where . Thus,
Note that . Thus, . Squaring both sides yields Thus, by , is a solution to . This implies that and , so our final answer is .
