Problem

Suppose ABCD is a parallelogram with area $39\sqrt{95}$ square units and $\angle{DAC}$ is a right angle. If the lengths of all the sides of ABCD are integers, what is the perimeter of ABCD?


Solution

Let any one side be x and other side be y.

Then one diagonal is [(y)^2-(x)^2]^(1/2)

let [(y)^2-(x)^2]^(1/2) be z. So x*z=39*95^(1/2)

Here x = 13 satisfies with y = 32 so Perimeter is 2(13+32)=90

"90"
